Manitoba Mennonite Historical Society
500 pages, paperback.
From 1874 to 1880 almost seven thousand Mennonites immigrated to Manitoba from southern Russia. Those arriving in 1875 and later from the Khortitsa Colony and its younger daughter settlements (Fuerstenland, Nepluievka, Judenplan, Borosenko and Baratov) located west of the Red River on a tract of land immediately north of the U.S.A. border. Known as the “West Reserve”, this area comprised thirty-seven villages when the first extant comprehensive census was taken in 1880. The core of this volume is a reproduction of that original document.
