Prairie Odyssey of Harris and Mary in Manitoba
Despondent schoolteacher John Harris leaves Ontario for Manitoba with fiancée Mary. They marry, trek west, choose a prairie quarter with Aleck McCrae, and build a sod farm near Emerson. They face wolves and a night-guarded attack, establish a homestead, and begin planting wheat and oats with help from neighbors.
