Produktbeschreibung

BREAKING GROUND is the story of Eastern Europeans, mostly Ukrainians, who settled in a large bloc in North Eastern Alberta, Canada beginning at the end of the 19th century.

It follows one family of strong women and men, from their decision to emigrate, through the difficulties of settling in their new country including coping with discrimination from earlier newcomers, newspapers and government.

These pioneers persevered, breaking new ground as they built their homesteads, churches, schools, hospitals and community centers.

The author Nancy Anastasia Hawrelak was a news correspondent and a columnist for the St. Paul Journal in Alberta. Her writings included travel articles and a mostly humorous column which reached a wide audience from Georgia to Yellowknife. Her articles were also published in other newspapers, including the Edmonton Journal.

Nancy grew up in the midst of this settlement watching the pioneers painfully and slowly relinquish many of their old world traditions. It is a fast moving narrative complete with history, ceremony, humor and tragedy. Book length: approx 250 pp.
