Book Description
This is the first fully documented account, produced in modern times, of the migration of Scots to Lower Canada. Scots were in the forefront of the early influx of British settlers, which began in the late eighteenth century. John Nairne and Malcolm Fraser were two of the first Highlanders to make their mark on the province, arriving at La Malbaie soon after the Treaty of Paris in 1763. By the early 1800s many Scottish settlements had been formed along the north side of the Ottawa River, in the Chateauguay Valley to the southwest of Montreal, and in the Gaspe region. Then, as economic conditions in the Highlands and Islands deteriorated by the late 1820s, large numbers of Hebridean crofters settled in the Eastern Townships. The first group came from Arran and the later arrivals from Lewis. Les Ecossais were proud of their Scottish traditions and customs, those living reminders of the old country which had been left behind. In the end they became assimilated into Quebec's French-speaking society, but along the way they had a huge impact on the province's early development. How were les Ecossais regarded by their French neighbours? Were they successful pioneers? In her book, Lucille H. Campey assesses their impact as she unravels their story. Drawing from a wide range of fascinating sources, she considers the process of settlement and the harsh realities of life in the New World. She explains how Quebec province came to acquire its distinctive Scottish communities and offers new insights on their experiences and achievements.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Tragedy of Quebec: The Expulsion of Its Protestant Farmers The first issue of this book dealt exclusively with the interests of the Protestant farmers of Quebec. In the second edition space was taken to point out that the same influence which had so disastrous an effect upon them, would, ere long, bring trouble to the Dominion at large. In this third edition, that contention has been dealt with more fully, so that the book now consists of two parts, that which concerns the Protestant farmers of Quebec and that which concerns the people of the other provinces. Part of this edition the publisher is preparing as copies fit for the library. In these copies a voluminous appendix is included, giving quotations from the documents cited in the text, not only confirming its accuracy, but useful for reference to those who desire to make a study of the working of the Papacy in Canada.
