The Highland Scots of North Carolina

By Duane Meyer

This 75-page pamphlet was printed in 1963 as a condensation of the author's Highland Scots of North Carolina, 1732-1776, which had been published in 1961. The book chronicles the migration of the Highland Scots to the wilderness of North Carolina during the 1770's, including many specific individuals. It describes their motives for leaving and conditions they encountered in creating settlements in their new land. The book also explains the involvement of these transplants on both sides of the American Revolution.

The book is in very good condition and includes some maps from the time period.
