Leaving Canada: The Journey to Mexico: Volume 1

In the 1920s a large group of Mennonites made a big decision. They would sell their homes and farms in Manitoba and Saskatchewan and build new farming villages in Mexico. In this reader you will meet the people who made that decision and find out why they made it. You will travel across Mexico with six men who were sent to find just the right land for their people. You will go by train with the children, young people, their parents and their farm animals, to their new homeland. You will enjoy your first breakfast of bread and coffee in your tent-village home. “No breakfast had ever tasted so good,” wrote Ohm Iezak. You will also meet Mexicans who wondered who all these strangers were. All that and more . . .
