BOOK - The Glengarry Light Infantry, 1812-1816, who were they and what did they do in the war? [Revised & Updated Edition]
By Winston Johnston
Published by H. Winston Johnston, Charlottetown, 2011
This new revised and expanded edition of The Glengarry Light Infantry, 1812-1816 has been eagerly awaited by researchers, scholars and the descendants of the men who served. Johnston has added more than 100 pages of new information to this edition. Johnston skilfully draws on archival sources to reconstruct the organization of the regiment, their engagements, biographies (and known portraits) of each officer and enlistment/residential details of every one of the 1400 men of the rank and file. These men were recruited in what is now Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island.

BOOK - On The Crofters' Trail
By David Craig
Published by Birlinn Ltd, Edinburgh, 2010 (Edition)
In the Clearances of the 19th century, crofts - once the mainstay of Highland life in Scotland - were swept away as the land was put over to sheep grazing. Many of the people of the Highlands and islands of Scotland were forced from their homes by landowners in the Clearances. Some fled to Nova Scotia and beyond. David Craig sets out to discover how many of their stories survive in the memories of their descendants. He travels through 21 islands in Scotland and Canada, many thousands of miles of moor and glen, and presents the words of men and women of both countries as they recount the suffering of their forbears.

BOOK - The Highland Clearances
By Eric Richards
Published by Birlinn Ltd, Edinburgh, 2008
This is the first fully documented study for many years of one of Scotland’s most emotive subjects. It traces the origins of the Clearances from the eighteenth century to their culmination in the crofting legislation of the 1880s, showing how the process of clearance was part of a wider European movement of rural depopulation. Eric Richards describes the appalling conditions and treatment suffered by the Highland people, yet at the same time illustrates how difficult the choices were that faced even the most benevolent landlords in the face of rapid economic change.
