Description
Based on the oral testimony of almost forty informants, this text describes the cultural traditions of the loggers, construction workers, and other skilled tradesmen and their families who emigrated from northern Sweden in the early twentieth century to take up farming in what has since become the municipality of Eriksdale, Manitoba. Particular emphasis is placed upon an examination of the ways in which these customs were adapted to conform to a variety of historical, social, and economic influences.
