Inn-Road to Ancestry: Pioneer Inns of Ontario, Volume 1: Head of the Lake & Niagara edited by Dr. Robert J. Graham, D. Min., M. Div., LL.B, CD. 1996; xii; 128pp, soft cover. Since the first days of the settlement of Ontario, inns have played a vital role in the social fabric of the communities that they served. They were landmarks for the early settlers and the patrons of an inn were a mosaic of the lives and occupations within their community. The stories that have come out of this project are an often unrecognized part of Canadian heritage. Volume 1 depicts inns and innkeepers from one of the earliest settled areas of this province. In it, you will note how often inns moved in Hamilton, find out about an early Masonic Lodge in Barton Township, discover where to find historic lodgings in Niagara-on-the-Lake, and which of the wineries in the Niagara Region is nearly 150 years old.

The author explores the relationship between economic changes in the Highland and the clansmen's emigration to Canada and settlement in Glengarry County, Ontario.  McLean challenges the currently-accepted position that the clearances and sheep farms did not have a central role in provoking mass emigration. While McLean does not argue that landlords forced people to leave, she uses local evidence to show that the economic changes brought about by these factors led many Highlanders to emigrate.
