UP THE GLENS
This battle cry has echoed across many of the toughest battlefields where Canadian troops have fought. Highlanders from three proud counties and surrounding areas have served for more than a hundred years. They still serve. Standing ready in peacetime, or answering the call to war, the Regiment and its members have never been found wanting.
And what a story it is!
The Canadian Militia unit known as The Glens; whose official name is Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry Highlanders, can trace its roots as a proud and valiant military organization to the
earliest days of settlement of the parts of Upper Canada now known as Eastern Ontario. Most of the men who were its first members came to what was then Upper Canada from the United States where they served in either the 84th Royal Highland Emigrant Regiment or the King's Royal Regiment of New York. They fought on the losing side in the American Revolutionary War and they were offered the opportunity of a new life in a new land. Canada welcomed them, and they made their homes here.

Beginning in the middle of the 18th century, the Highlands of Scotland underwent radical social and economic change. The economic transformation - from a quasi-feudal community to a society ordered by modern capitalist forces - led to declining status for clansmen and disruption of traditional social organization.
In a detailed and well-documented study, Marianne McLean explores the relationship between
economic changes in the Highlands and the clansmen1s emigration to Canada in the late 18th and early 19th
centuries, She challenges the currently accepted position - endorsed in recent works by Eric Richards and
J. M. Bumsted - that the clearances and sheep farms did not have a central role in provoking mass emigration. While McLean does not argue that landlords forced people to leave, she uses local evidence to show that the economic changes brought about by these factors led many Highlanders to emigrate.
Using a wide array of published and unpublished sources, McLean examines in detail nine group emigrations which left western Inverness between 1785 and 1802 for Glengarry County in Upper Canada (now Ontario). She describes how, once in North America, they built a new Highland community in an attempt to ensure each family1s access to the land. By revealing the pattern of Highland emigration to Glengarry County -- families and friends and /or settling together -- McLean confirms Bernard Baylin's
notion of a 'provincial emigrant stream', and offers a convincing explanation for the development of one of Canada1s 'limited identities.'
With the PEOPLE OF GLENGARRY, McLean presents an examination of the cultural change which marked the historical experience of one group in Canada and begins to define the cultural legacy which their descendants share.
'A received view has been shattered so effectively in these pages that it is hard to see how anyone can ever put it together again. [McLean's book is ] one of the best Canadian immigration studies .... prepared up to this date. Drawing on an impressively wide range of sources (most of them unpublished) ... it definitely makes a significant original contribution to its field. It is likely to be a much consulted, much cited standard work.' Royce MacGillivray, Department of History, University of Waterloo.
Marianne McLean is programme Head of the Public Life Archives Programme, Manuscript Division, Nation Archives of Canada.
FROM THE PREFACE;
'This study of the origins of Glengarry County, Ontario, has its roots in my curiosity about emigration, its effect on individuals, and its meaning for the country which the emigrants built. All of my father1s family were Scottish Highlanders who belonged to Glengarry. But my father is a Canadian. When and how did his people become Canadian, and what survives of their former culture? The origin of this particular part of the Canadian identity clearly lies in the Highlands of Scotland and in Glengarry County; the experience of emigration, which formed the new community, was crucial in shaping the Highlander1s life in the new world. But what did the Highlanders, or any other group, preserve of their old identity when, after several generations, they considered themselves Canadian? Questions of cultural transfer are not easy to answer.This book represents only the first stage in an examination of the cultural change that marked the historical experience of one ethnic group in Canada. Nevertheless, in charting why and how certain Gaelic-speaking Scots came to Canada two hundred years ago, I have begun to define the cultural legacy which their descendants share and which is part of the Canadian heritage.'
I have written this book most particularly for the people of Glengarry, whether in Scotland, in Canada, or elsewhere, for those whose lives are remembered here, and for all their families.

There are fur trade and Metis Connections, and even ties with the Caribbean. As well as colourful articles, this book contains a wealth of genealogical information, family trees, maps, photographs and other illustrations.

True as that is, this book is not simply a war story. As General Crerar said in his Foreword to the first edition of the story of the Highlanders, "This is more than a regimental history. It is also a story ... of families who settled, and animated, the Counties ..."
The book is rich with tales of the exploits of some of the most colourful and heroic individuals that Canada, or any other nation, has ever seen.
Perhaps first among these was Colonel "Red George" Macdonell, the conqueror of Ogdensburg and one of the commanders of the victors at Chategueay in the War of 1812. To participate in that battle he covered 140 miles by water and 40 by land in four and a half days at the head of the battalion he commanded.
In the same time, there was very much in evidence Red George's kinsman, The Warrior Bishop. Among other patriotic feats, he excommunicated a would-be deserter on the frozen river, as the troops marched to the attack under fire of the fort's cannons.
There was Sergeart Nunney, a ferocious fighter in World War I, awarded three of the highest decorations a soldier can win.
No reader of the book could ever forget "Uniformity". the dog who travelled everywhere with The Glens, nearly sailed to Europe, and who left her descendants all over Eastern Ontario.
The greatest strength of this monumental work is the incredible wealth of accurate and detailed information that is contains. From the first pages where Lieutenant-Colonel Boss describes the earliest settlers of the United Counties, through the War of 1812, the Rebellion and the Fenian Raids, South Africa, World War I, England, Normandy, Holland and Germany, his tales of The Glens
at peace and war are detailed and often awe-inspiring.
General Patterson brings the history up to date with his summary of the forty-three years since the book was first published. He reports on The Glens' involvement in tasks as diverse as the October Crisis of 1970 and UN Peacekeeping in places such as Cyprus, Yugoslavia and the Gaza strip. Through it all, the facts (and the human tales) are there.
The book contains thirty-two pages of photographs and maps, showing The Glens at peace and at war.
Forty appendices provide hard-to-find details of the men and women who served, and those who are still serving; their contributions, sacrifices, honours and awards.
