Canada, it's said, is Scotland's revenge on England. It provided an outlet for the ambition and ingenuity of Scottish émigrés, and in the process, the Scots built a nation.
Great Scots! chronicles how penniless but enterprising Scottish émigrés came to dominate almost all forms of enterprise in early Canada and demonstrates the astounding extent to which Canada's fundamental institutions and culture are a product of early, tough-minded Scottish immigrants.
