Courageous Canadian Boy Builds Self Sustaining Farm
Jean, his sisters Melisse and Therese, arrive as emigrants with almost nothing but will. He rents a ruined farm, works hard on nearby fields, repairs buildings, grows a thriving garden, keeps chickens and a cow, and pays off the land. Five years later they own the farm free of debt, with seven cows, hundreds of hens, a renewed orchard, and a prosperous home.
