Flight of the Highlanders

Bestselling author Ken McGoogan tells the story of those courageous Scots who, ruthlessly evicted from their ancestral homelands, were sent to Canada in coffin ships, where they would battle hardship, hunger and even murderous persecution. McGoogan intertwines two main narratives. The first is that of the Clearances themselves, during which some 200,000 Highlanders were driven from lands occupied by their forefathers for hundreds of years. The second narrative focuses on resettlement. Residence: Toronto, ON. Print run 6,000.
