"In this collection of brief, evocative vignettes, Penner traces the influence of pioneer roots on the present generation as he chronicles the transformation of the land from untouched prairie to productive farm. As a boy, young Mil rubbed shoulders with the very pioneers who tamed the prairies, and he now draws on those recollections and memories passed on by his father to make the past come alive."--BOOK JACKET.
More than fifty informants were consulted in this study of the folklife and folklore of the Russian-German Mennonites who settled the Saskatchewan Valley north of Saskatoon in the late nineteenth century.
