What is a homesteader and why did they want to move to the prairies?
Look inside this book to find out! Immigration and the Founding of New
Communities looks at what happened after the 1867 Canadian Confederation
agreement. From the gold rush, to the building of the railways, we look
at how Canada attracted and employed new immigrants. Books in the
Canadian Timelines series teach readers the basics of Canadian history
and culture, from how First Nations people arrived to immigration since
the 1970s.
