The homesteading era on the Canadian Prairies (1867–1914) was a dynamic period of history, when hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children, migrating primarily from northwestern and eastern Europe, descended nascent provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. Some were lured by the promise of prosperity and land ownership, while others were fleeing war, famine, and persecution.

Homesteaders have been studied and written about extensively, often within the context of “settling” the Canadian West and the displacement of Indigenous populations. These narratives, while crucial to our understanding of Canada’s national identity and colonial past, tend to obscure the personal stories, beliefs, and mindsets of those individuals who came to this part of the world and made a life there.

Drawing on a treasure trove of archival sources, historian Sandra Rollings-Magnusson presents a vivid and deeply personal collection of Prairie folklife, revealing stories full of humour, superstition, fear, and hope. She gives insight into homesteaders’ daily lives, including instances of water-witching, signs of good and bad luck, neighbourly practical jokes, and popular pastimes. Through adaptation, hardship, homesickness, and a sense of adventure, they built communities with others from different backgrounds, creating a unique culture that blended the old with the new.

加拿大大草原垦荒时代（1867–1914）是一个充满活力的历史时期，数百万人主要来自北欧和东欧，从新成立的艾伯塔省、萨斯喀彻温省和马尼托巴省这片新生省份迁入。有些人被繁荣与土地所有权的承诺所吸引，而另一些人则逃离了战争、饥荒和迫害。 垦荒者的研究已被广泛讨论，通常是在“安大略西部定居”以及土著人口的迁移背景下进行。这些叙述虽然对于我们理解加拿大的国家身份和殖民历史至关重要，但往往掩盖了那些来到这里并在此建立生活的个体的真实故事、信仰和个人心态。 萨拉·罗丽斯-马格孙博士从档案宝藏中汲取灵感，呈现了一部鲜活而极具个人色彩的大草原民间故事集，讲述了充满幽默、迷信、恐惧与希望的故事。她揭示了垦荒者日常生活中的细节，如水源探测术、幸运和不祥的迹象、邻里恶作剧以及流行娱乐活动。通过适应、艰辛、思乡之情及冒险精神，他们与其他来自不同背景的人共同建立了社区，创造出一种将过去与现在融合的独特文化。
