About This Item
Toronto: Patrick Crean Editions. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 2019. First Edition. Hardcover. 1443452599 . A near-fine volume in a near-fine DJ, dustjacket in Mylar, unclipped.; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall; 348 pages; "Between the 1770s and the 1880s, tens of thousands of dispossessed and destitute Highlanders crossed the Atlantic prototypes for the refugees we see arriving today from around the world. If today Canada is more welcoming to newcomers than most countries, it is at least partly because of the lingering influence of those unbreakable refugees. Together with their better-off brethrenthe lawyers, educators, politicians and businessmenthose indomitable Highlanders were the making of Canada." .

About Ainsworth Books
Ainsworth Books was for many years a bricks and mortar store in Vancouver, BC. When we acquired the store, we moved to a location in Delta. After three years we moved the stock home and started operation as an online, by appointment only operation. I have worked with books my whole adult life and enjoy giving recommendations.
