"An Historical Account of the Settlements of Scotch Highlanders in America" by J.P. MacLean is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work explores the settlement patterns, cultural contributions, and historical significance of Scotch Highlanders who migrated to America before the Peace of 1783, as well as their involvement in various conflicts and regiments throughout American history. The book highlights the often overlooked role of these settlers in shaping early American society and their unique heritage. At the start of the text, the author sets the stage by addressing the lack of comprehensive documentation regarding Scotch Highland settlements prior to the American Revolution. MacLean discusses the various regions where Highlanders settled, such as North Carolina and Georgia, and notes the importance of their contributions to the development of these areas. He emphasizes that while these communities may not have been widely recognized, their influence persists through their descendants and the cultural legacy they left behind. The opening portion also introduces the socio-political dynamics of the Highland clans, illustrating their governance, customs, and resiliency in face of hardship and conflict.
