McNabGeneralStore PublishingHouse, 2006 - 265 páginas In 1823, Archibald McNab, thirteenth Chief of Clan McNab, eluded his creditors in Scotland and escaped to Upper Canada, to the banks of the Ottawa River. In 1825, McNab paid for the passage of 115 emigrants from Perthshire. He tried to impose a feudal system by having his settlers sign bonds and location tickets for their lots. McNab is the story of the settlers' sixteen-year struggle to free themselves from the tyranny of a Highland chief who held tenaciously to the tradition of the Scottish clan. |
