The Story of a Pioneer Community

Written by Tymen E. Hofman

Legion are the stories of post-WWII Dutch immigrants labouring in the endless sugar beet spreads of Southern Alberta. They were not first but joined a well-established Dutch immigrant community that had been there already for well over forty years, back to the time Alberta had not yet been created as a province. While the earliest of Dutch immigrants -the Emmelkamp family- came up from New Mexico, many more of them had already lived for a few years in Montana's Gallatin Valley. Discover more in this book about the ups and downs in the life of this SW Alberta community going back well over a century ago.
