Using a variety of original sources--official papers, travel documents, diaries, and newspapers--Duane Meyer presents an impressively complete reconstruction of the settlement of the Highlanders in North Carolina. He examines their motives for migration, their life in America, and their curious political allegiance to George III.
This book breaks new ground in discussing the causes of the emigration and the knotty puzzle of the loyalism of the American Scots. Meyer sees not forceable political repatriation but nonpolitical social and economic pressures as the real cause of the Highlander movement to America. He meticulously examines the political allegiance of the highlander settlement in North Carolina.
