About the Book
In her latest book, Dot Scott continues to trace the Scott family history. Massive unemployment following the Napoleonic wars resulted in a surge in emigration to the colonies as people sought brighter futures. Alexander Forbes was one of thousands to go. He left Ireland in 1820 on the East Indian, a ship bound for South Africa.
Settlers in a Restless Land gives the reader a glimpse of what it might have been like to make that trek to a completely different land!
