BOOK - Africa's Children, A History of Blacks in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia
Sharon-Robart Johnson
Africa's Children, chronicling the history of Black families of the Yarmouth area of Nova Scotia, is a mirror image of the hopes and despairs and the achievements and injustices that mark the early stories of many African-Canadians. This extensively researched history traces the lives of those people, still enslaved at the time, who arrived with the influx of Black Loyalists and landed in Shelburne in 1783, as well as those who had come with their masters as early as 1767.

BOOK or CD - Sketches Illustrating The Early Settlement and History of Glengarry in Canada [Ontario]
By J. A. MacDonell.
Originally published 1893 (This historical reprint by Global Heritage Press)
J. A. MacDonell recognized that much had been written on the subject of United Empire Loyalist settlement in Ontario, the War of 1812-14, and the Rebellion of 1837-8, but expressed concern that there was little mention made of the part that the Highlanders of Glengarry played in those conflicts. He corrects that oversight within the 29 chapters that comprise this formitable text. This book is an fine source of information for those interested in early settlement of the Highlanders in Glengarry and surrounding counties, and the role that Glengarry Highland Scots played in the 18th and 19th century military conflicts.
