Mennonites In Canada 1786-1920 : The History Of A Separate People

Historical study of the Mennonite experience in Canada from the late eighteenth century to the early twentieth. The work traces the development of Mennonite communities without strict geographic or denominational limits, examining the formation of a distinct identity shaped by migration, settlement, and religious tradition. The narrative places Canadian developments within the wider background of Anabaptist origins and the persecutions of sixteenth-century Europe, continuing through the establishment of Mennonite settlements in British North America and concluding with the 1920 legislation that barred further Mennonite immigration to Canada.
