In this book you will read stories and learn about the Mennonites that moved to the prairies of Manitoba. In the 1870s, the group arrived after a long journey. They sailed over the Atlantic Ocean and along several rivers, and then travelled across land by wagon train. The Mennonites were welcomed by the Canadian government because they were known to be great farmers. But starting to farm this new land was just the beginning of the Mennonites’ story. Good for upper grades at school, but suitable for any age. 80 pages; paperback; Plett Foundation.
