This review is from: Highland Settler; A Portrait of the Scottish Gael in Nova Scotia (Canadian University Paperbacks) (Paperback)

Highland Settler, with its look into the difficulty of life of the Scots, driven from their land by the English, is a memorable look into frontier life (to the recent past) of an honorable people. The struggles against trees; the pride and perseverance; the discrimination. It's described in this well written documentary, sadly out of print. It also gives me an appreciation of my forefathers in this new land. Dr. P.J. Deason
