With Love From Bliss (Saskatchewan Saga Book #2) - Plot & Excerpts
From most corners of the world they came—all seeking a homestead. “Keep Canada British” was the cry. But the gates were open, and like a mighty, rushing stream, they could not be stanched. Wanted or not, welcome or not—they came. English settlers were pursued with some vigor. Contacted through a London office, every adult over twenty-one who signed on for western Canada was paid a bonus. Bonuses were also paid to Frenchmen, Dutchmen, Belgians, Scandinavians, and Germans. Not so blessed, not so sought after—the Hungarians, Russians, Ukrainians, Poles. But they came. They took what was left, whether it was poplar or swamp, paid their ten dollar filing fee, got in their buggies, and drove the muddy roads to 160 acres that they could call their own. And, most generally, made a go of it. “Foreigners,” they were called, while the favored races were termed “white.” Their arrival by the thousands caused bitter debate in Parliament.
