Scottish emigration to colonial America, 1607-1785/ David Dobson

Nota

Includes index.

"The book is arranged by geographic location within a chronology that frames the major periods of Scottish emigration, which were, by definition, periods of great sociopolitical change in Britain: the half-century before Restoration, Restoration to Union, Union to the Peace of Paris, and the Peace of Paris to the Treaty of Paris. [The author's] narrative not only incorporates a great deal of demographic and biographical information, but also uses anecdotes that typify the Scottish emigrant experience. As he considers the motivations of the emigrants, their settlement patterns, and their contributions to colonial life, [the author] addresses an abundance of related topics, from the Scottish influence on such schools as Princeton and the College of William and Mary to the complicated loyalties of the Scottish factions in the American Revolution"--Book jacket.
