The Scots in Australia is a long overdue and comprehensive history of Scottish immigrants - including convicts and free settlers - and their descendants in Australia from 1788 to the present. Combining anecdote, biography and straightforward history, author Malcolm Prentis reevaluates commonly held assumptions and myths from both ends of the migration process. Malcolm Prentis shows that the Scots have had an influence in Australia disproportionate to their numbers.ScotsAustraliaHistoryScotlandEmigration and immigrationHistoryAustraliaEmigration and immigrationHistoryScotsHistory.994.0049163Prentis Malcolm D(Malcolm David),1948-1537516MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782893103321The Scots in Australia3786853UNINA
