Book excerpt: Jane Aberson's newspaper articles document the everyday life of a Dutch immigrant family farming on the prairies six miles from Dauphin, Manitoba, during the Depression. They were published in Dutch from 1929 to 1966. The articles contain a continuous record, except for the war years, of the settlement experience of an immigrant family for thirty years. At the age of eighty, the author translated into English a particular set of articles covering the years 1929-36. This document contains her letters from this period.
