SODBUSTERS

Farming on the Canadian frontier took a special kind of determination and adaptability. Originally published in 1948, The Sodbusters is a lively collection of stories about the first settlers to tackle the rough, unbroken land, and the wide variety of agricultural approaches they took. From Pat Burns to John Ware, Kootenai Brown to the Barr colonists, historian Grant MacEwan captures the spirit of these early pioneers and pays tribute to the legacy they left behind
