About this book
In The Homesteaders, Stead stresses the importance of pioneer life, its heroic and ideal qualities, as part of a unifying national tradition. It is valuable as pioneering literary work, part of the slow evolution of Canadian literature from escapist romance to conscious examination of national life.
