DOWNLOAD EBOOK →"My Homesteader's Heritage is the story of two families who immigrated from England and Poland to face the challenges of homesteading in Canada. Despite their vastly differing backgrounds and cultures, the two families were joined together when Leonard Croswell married Ella Stebner in 1943, at Newbrook, Alberta. The Croswell family began their journey in 1842 sailing from Liverpool, England for thirteen weeks across the perilous Atlantic Ocean and stalling amid the threatening icebergs of the Labrador Current. An outbreak of cholera marred their courageous journey with death and sorrow. Yet through a twist of serendipitous fate, two grieving Croswell / French families on board were joined together to bravely face the frontiers of British North America. The Croswell diaspora eventually led to homesteading in Saskatchewan and Alberta. Ed and Helen Stebner, were married in 1922 at Tarnufka, Poland. After facing the dangers of World War One, their German community began to feel increasingly alienated and marginalized politically and was denied many rights. Hearing of the glowing opportunities and safety in Canada, the Stebners immigrated, first Ed in 1927, and a year later Helen and her two preschool children, to Leduc and eventually their homestead in Newbrook, Alberta. My Homesteader's Heritage is an account of the bravery and perseverance of two homesteading families who overcame the difficulties and hardships of a frontier land to pass on a legacy of faith, determination, hard work, and success for their children to endorse and emulate"--

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Homesteading the Plains offers a bold new look at the history of homesteading, overturning what for decades has been the orthodox scholarly view. The authors begin by noting the striking disparity between the public’s perception of homesteading as a cherished part of our national narrative and most scholars’ harshly negative and dismissive treatment. Homesteading the Plains reexamines old data and draws from newly available digitized records to reassess the current interpretation’s four principal tenets: homesteading was a minor factor in farm formation, with most Western farmers purchasing their land; most homesteaders failed to prove up their claims; the homesteading process was rife with corruption and fraud; and homesteading caused Indian land dispossession. Using data instead of anecdotes and focusing mainly on the nineteenth century, Homesteading the Plains demonstrates that the first three tenets are wrong and the fourth only partially true. In short, the public’s perception of homesteading is perhaps more accurate than the one scholars have constructed. Homesteading the Plains provides the basis for an understanding of homesteading that is startlingly different from current scholarly orthodoxy.
