Bag om The Homesteaders

The Homesteaders is a trilogy of works which, together, tell a wonderful, heart warming tale of courage, endurance and hope among the late nineteenth century immigrants to Saskatchewan who, with their diverse backgrounds, came together to transform the wild prairie lands into the wheat bowl of Canada and, in so doing, laid the foundations for the future of the province. Theirs was a tale of struggle, perseverance, occasional heartbreak and eventual triumph. It is primarily a story about people. Some spirited and very special people that we should never forget. It also forms an important chapter in the history of Saskatchewan and, indeed, Canada. This is the second volume in The Homesteaders trilogy. It continues on from the first, wherein our homesteader made, with some difficulty, the transition from late 19th century industrial Britain to the golden prairies of Saskatchewan. This volume takes the story through the period of The Great War and into the depression years of the 1930s. It outlines the part played in these events by those same individuals from under the big skies of that beautiful land. While The Homesteaders is a work of fiction, it is based firmly upon well researched fact and therefore adopts a strong degree of realism. It is a tale which will stir the hearts of everyone who cares about the natural world and what it means to be a human being.
