Scottish Emigration Reading List, part two

As promised, here is the part two of the suggested reading list. If I have not yet provided you with enough reading material, I have added a resource list on Scottish emigration prepared by the Library of Congress to the links list. The books on it are a bit dated, but might be useful.

• Kelly, Douglas F., and Caroline Switzer Kelly. Carolina Scots, An Historical and Genealogical Study of Over 100 Years of Emigration. Dillon, SC: 1739 Publications, 1998.
• The Kelly's have done extensive research on the Cumberland County community; their book is a nice addition to Duane Meyer's Highland Scots of North Carolina.
• Landsman, Ned C. Scotland and Its First American Colony, 1683-1765. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1985.
• Scotland's first American colony was in present-day New Jersey.  A detailed, yet readable study.
•  Lehmann, William C. Scottish and Scotch-Irish contributions to early American life and culture (Series in American studies). Washington, D.C: Lehmann-Spohr, 1980.
• MacDougall, Robert. An Emigrants Guide to North America. Edited by Elizabeth Helen Thompson. Toronto: Natural Heritage Books, 1998.
• This is an English translation of a guidebook original published in Gaelic in 1841.
• MacInnes, Allan I. "Scottish Gaeldom: The First Phase of Clearance." In People and Society in Scotland: A Social History of Modern Scotland : 1760-1830 Vol. 1. Edinburgh: John Donald, 1988.
• Devine, Thomas Martin and John R. Young, editors Eighteenth Century Scotland: New Perspectives. East Lothian: Tuckwell Press, 1999.
• MacLean, John P. An Historical Account of the Settlements of Scotch Highlanders in America Prior to the Peace of 1783: Together With Notices of Highland Regiments and Biographical Sketches (Classic Reprint). Cleveland: Helman-Taylor Company, 1900.
• An Historical Account of the Settlements of Scotch Highlanders in America - or get it free (marked down from $1.99) from this link from Amazon for your Kindle. The book is in the public domain and this digital copy was prepared by volunteers. They have other public domain titles as well.
• Mathieson, Robert. The Survival of the Unfittest: The Highland Clearances and the End of Isolation. Edinburgh: John Donald, 2000.
• Includes a general history of the Highlands and an analysis of various diseases, nutrition (or lack thereof) and how both were impacted by eviction. I found it easy to read and interesting.
• McLean, Marianne. The People of Glengarry: Highlanders in Transition, 1745-1820 (Mcgill-Queen's Studies in Ethnic History). Montreal: McGill-Queen's University Press, 1991.
• Detailed study of the Glengarry Highlanders. Follow these emigrants from Scotland to New York, through the American Revolution, then on to Canada. 
• McLeod, Mona. Leaving Scotland (Scotland's Past in Action). Edinburgh: National Museums of Scotland, 1996.
• This is a wee book, the kind that you buy in a museum gift shop.
•  Meyer, Duane. The Highland Scots of North Carolina, 1732-1776. Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 1957.
• Published version of his dissertation examining why Highlanders left Scotland and the community that was created in Cumberland County, NC.
•  Parker, Anthony W. Scottish Highlanders in Colonial Georgia: The Recruitment, Emigration, and Settlement at Darien, 1735-1748. Athens: University of Georgia Press, 1997.
• Tony Parker was the panel commentator for the first paper I ever gave. I was petrified because I was the first presenter for the entire conference.  Tony was very kind and generously suggested many books for me to read. 
• Rattray, J.W. The Scot In British North America V3 (1880). Toronto: Maclean & Co., 1880.
• Richards, Eric. The Highland Clearances: People, Landlords and Rural Turmoil. Edinburgh: Birlinn, 2008, 3rd edition.
• He also published A History of the Highland Clearances in two volumes in the 1980s, but this one volume work, first published in 2000, is really the only one you need.
• Scottish Genealogy Society. Scottish Emigration to North America. Edinburgh: Scottish Genealogy Society, 1990.
• Shepperson, Wilbur Stanley. British emigration to North America: Projects & opinions in the early Victorian period. Oxford: Basil Blackwell, 1957.
• Whyte, Donald. A Dictionary of Scottish Emigrants to Canada Before Confederation. Ontario Genealogical Society, 1986.
• ———. Dictionary of Scottish Emigrants to the USA. Baltimore: Magna Carta Book Company, 1972.
• I first tripped across this volume at the National Library of Scotland. I poured through it looking for entries of Ohio bound emigrants and "discovered" Scotch Settlement in the process.  Very successful research day.

 Happy Reading!
