About this book

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. Emphasis is placed upon the role of religion in the continuity of Mennonite culture in Saskatchewan.
