I want to thank Thomas Edmund
Meuller, author and Goodreads First
Giveaway for the eBook Kindle copy
of
Canada ~ An Immigrant Homesteader
Family that I won in the
Giveaway.
This is a true story of a young
German man living his dream to
immigrant to Canada and homestead
with his family and live off the
land. The family settled in New
Brunswick first and had a farm that
sustained them with the butter they
made and sold from their cows and
the food they raised and the farm
animals that provided food just as
homesteaders have done for many
years. The difference is that Mr.
Meuller and his family started their
adventure in the 1980's and made it
work. Hunting was also a part of
living off the land.
The book shows a respect for the
environment, a strong work ethnic
and determination to make living a
simple life work and being close to
nature. The pictures were an added
bonus and made the story easy to
picture from building cabins, to the
bears and wildlife, and the children
and how they learned to help with
everyday life. It is an excellent
book to get a look at a brave man
that lived his dream.
This marvelous book is,
basically, a series of love
letters and poetry to the
greatness and beauty of
Canada. While telling of
their immigration to New
Brunswick and then the move
to British Columbia and all
of the beautiful scenery and
enjoyment of nature, the
reader senses that the
author feels that there is
no finer place on this
earth. There are heartfelt
poems and astounding photos,
praise for those who helped,
praise for the educational
system which provides the
means for the children to be
home schooled through eighth
grade so successfully that
academic integration into
high school and later
college was seamless. He
does do a fair amount of
bragging in his
instructional mode, but it's
pretty much everything
taught and supported in
Mother Earth News. I found
it to be an excellent
narrative and enjoyed it
without reservation.
I am thankful to have won an
ebook copy in a Goodreads
Giveaway!
