The arrival of the Hector in 1773 sparked a huge influx of Scots to Nova Scotia and Cape Breton. This extensively documented book is a must for historians and genealogists. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

I found this an easy reference for passenger lists on various ships that ferried the immigrants to North America. Overall, however, the book was quite dry reading. I'm not a genealogist, so cannot comment on how useful other readers might find Campey's reference. I did learn from the passenger lists what an appalling level of chicanery occurred in deceiving passengers. Some reports detail landing immigrants at ports at which they did not want to disembark. There was a prevalence of death in the crossings, with many dying of small pox during the voyage and after landing. One forgets what the realities were like in travel. The conditions must have been so ghastly and I was amazed at how many very young children actually survived the trip. ( )
