Iceland to Saskatchewan

Information regarding Western Icelanders in Saskatchewan, Canada, maps and homestead documents. From their homes in Iceland, pioneers migrated via ferry to Scotland, then by way of steamer across the vast Pacific Ocean reaching the prairies by rail. Such was the path taken by the Western Icelanders who established themselves in New Iceland along the shores of the great Manitoba lakes in 1875 expanding into the North West Territories to the area now known as the province of Saskatchewan in later years.
