Note.—The following account of the difficulties between the Laird of MacNab and his settlers in Canada has appeared in several local papers and in the Scottish Canadian, through whose columns it obtained a wide circulation, resulting in the request that it be preserved in book form, a suggestion now complied with, in the hope that the example of sturdy independence therein described will prove of interest to others than those for whom the story was first compiled by a clansman.
