The Homesteaders tells 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. Woven into this story of one such Homesteader, is a celebration of traditional values and a love of the land, of humanity and a genuine desire to make the world a better place. His experiences along the way of preparation and the journey and arrival in Canada, do much to shape his views on life. However, there is much to learn in this new land, and his dedication and fortitude will eventually be tested to the limits. The Homesteaders is a tale of discovery, of triumph over adversity and the value of true friendship. It is a tale to be enjoyed and cherished by all who appreciate humanity and the natural world.
