A dance, a visitor reports, the emigration from Skye has occasioned. The visitor asks for the dances name. They call it America, hes told. Over a period of three centuries, many thousands of people left the islands and wider north of Scotland to make new lives across the sea. In this new edition of his acclaimed book, historian James Hunter follows in their footsteps from the Deep South to the Rockies and beyond to tell the story of the Highland impact on the New World. In doing so, he reveals how soldiers, explorers, guerrilla fighters, fur traders, lumberjacks, railways builders and settlers from Scotlands glens and islands contributed much to the USA and Canada. It is the story of how a hard-pressed people found in North America a land of opportunity. In this edition features a new introduction from James Hunter, where he reflects on what led him to embark on travels and researches that took him across a continent.

Winner of Saltire Scottish History Book of the Year They would be better dead, they said, than set adrift upon the world. But set adrift they were - thousands of them, their communities destroyed, their homes demolished and burned. Such were the Sutherland Clearances, an extraordinary episode, involving the deliberate depopulation of much of a Scottish county. What was done in the course of that episode was planned and carried out by a small group of men and one woman. Most of those involved wrote a great deal about their actions, intentions and feelings, and much of it has been preserved. There are no equivalent collections of material from those whose communities ceased to exist. Their feelings and fears are harder to access, but they are by no means irrecoverable. In this book James Hunter tells the story of the Sutherland Clearances. His researches took him to archives in Scotland, England and Canada, to the now deserted straths of Sutherland, to the frozen shores of Hudson Bay. The result is a gripping, moving, definitive account of a peoples struggle for survival in the face of tragedy and disaster which includes experiences which have not featured in any previous such account.
