First Edition
Paperback. Condition: Good. First Edition. "Originally begun as a hobby, this genealogy is the result of more than three years of research and compilation. The progenitor, and great grandfather of the author, Robert W. Morrison, Sr., emigrated from Sutherland, Scotland to Lot 21, P.E.I. as a young lad in the summer of 1841. Also included is an outline of highland social problems, steerage conditions and pioneer adversities which portrays realistic examples of those harships borne by typical highland immigrants to P.E.I. in the first half of the nineteenth century." - inside front cover. [8], 367 pages. Extensive index of names. Numerous family tree diagrams and black and white reproductions of archival photos. Laid-in is a news clipping about the publication of this book. Also laid-in is a two-page handwritten letter from the author's father to a relative in which he discusses efforts to connect members of the family at future reunions. Unmarked with average wear. Binding tender at back, otherwise a sound copy of this truly extraordinary genealogical reference. ; 8vo.
