Notes

An historical account of early settlers in what is now Saskatchewan, spanning from Canada’s founding in 1867 to the immigration boom before World War I. Through firsthand recollections, homesteaders describe claiming their 160-acre land grants, building sod or log homes, cultivating crops, and enduring harsh weather, pests, and isolation. They also reflect on daily life—food, medical care, one-room schools, community gatherings, and simple entertainments—offering a vivid portrait of prairie pioneer life.
