Originally published in thirteen installments of U.S. Scots magazine, Dr. Millett's account of Scottish emigration to colonial America is, arguably, the best introduction to its subject. Chapter topics include the Scottish homeland and its peoples; the push/pull of emigration/immigration; Scottish colonial settlements prior to 1707; the establishment of the principal 18th-century Scottish communities along the Chesapeake, the Carolinas and Georgia, and throughout the Middle Colonies; and the role of Scots during the American Revolution. Readers will also find invaluable narrative and statistical background information on the Scottish presence in the colonies.
