Driv'n by Fortune: The Scots' March to Modernity in America, 1745–1812

A provocative account of the 78th Fraserâ€™s Highlanders and its crucial place in history.

The remarkable story of the men of the 78th Fraserâ€™s Highlanders moves from the 1745 Jacobite Rebellion in Scotland, through the Seven Yearsâ€™ War and the American Revolution, to the War of 1812.

Simon Fraser, chief of the Clan Fraser of Lovat, raised the 78th Highlanders, a regiment that played a major role in defeating the French on the Plains of Abraham. Drivâ€™n by Fortune tackles the myths embedded in nationalistic history and in fictional accounts of these Highland soldier-settlers who brought the Scottish Enlightenment to North America.

The impact of the 78th Fraserâ€™s Highlanders, which extended far beyond Scotland and the Canada of their times, is finally being told.
