Notes

This volume explores the seasonal migration of Maritimers to Western Canada between 1890 and 1928 to work during the harvest. Organized by Canadian railway companies, these annual excursions brought thousands of Eastern Canadian labourers to the Prairies. The book primarily consists of personal recollections—both written accounts and oral interviews—documenting the experiences of those who participated in this chapter of Canadian history.
