商品簡介
In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the Canadian government advertised homesteading in the Canadian West as a means to a prosperous future. Free land? Who could resist? Never mind the land wasn't the government's to give away, homesteaders had strict and financially cumbersome terms to meet, the "free" land wasn't free, and the landscape lacked even the most basic infrastructure. Without knowing the hardships they'd experience, immigrants from Europe and the United States flooded Western Canada, often leaving their extended families and cultures behind.
Author Brad Kuich often wondered why his own family endeavoured such a risky undertaking. Based on research and family stories, The Homesteaders answers this curiosity. It follows his paternal great-grandparents and grandparents from the 1860s in the Central Unites States to the 1960s in Western Canada. This biographical and historical novel reimagines their lives and the hardships they would've faced while homesteading. At a young age, Brad's grandfather Joe learned that while the lifestyle had its challenges, it also had many joys. It's this resilient spirit, passed down from his own ancestors, that helped Joe persevere against incredible adversity.
Raw and candid, The Homesteaders is a glimpse into pivotal events in Canadian history, with some real characters along for the ride. It's a story of one man finding his purpose and connection in a challenging landscape.
