Count d’Esterhazy and the Esterhaz-Kaposvar Hungarian Colony in Western Canada
Joseph G. Nagy
Among the waves of immigrants who came from Europe to Canada in the late 1800s were the Hungarian and Western Slavic settlers who founded the Esterhaz Colony, later known as the Kaposvar and Kolin districts, in southeastern Saskatchewan. This book offers insight into the area and the key figure, Count Paul O. d’Esterhazy, an immigration agent for the Canadian government, who worked tirelessly to promote immigration to these districts and to improve the lives of the people who settled there.
