Dustship Glory

By Andreas Schroeder (Author)

Description

Dustship Glory is based on the true story of Tom Sukanen, although his goal to build a seafaring ship in the middle of Saskatchewan makes the tale seem quite fantastic. Set during the 1930s, Schoeder’s classic novel is an illustration of human perseverance in the face of drought and disbelief, painting a unique portrait of rural experience during tough times. Distributed throughout the novel-style prose are chapters that read like interviews with members of Sukanen’s community, allowing learners to view the story through different tones and perspectives. This work could easily be used in English language arts classes as a novel study, and in social studies classes to explore the history of the Canadian prairie.
