ISBN: 080715928X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
"This book examines the Acadian expulsion from Nova Scotia between 1755 and 1764. The author looks at the exiles' ensuing peregrinations, particularly the story of several groups of Acadian exiles who were sent to France after 1755. Resettled in the mother country, they resisted absorption, and, after twenty-eight years of neglect and deception by the French government, more than 1,500 of them realized their hope of returning to America, some to Louisiana. This work follows these Acadian groups not only in their devious wanderings after the year 1763 but also in their bitter struggle for justice and survival"--Provided by publisher.

Acadian Genealogy Exchange
Frenchmen into Peasants
Author: Leslie CHOQUETTE
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674029542
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 410
Book Description
In considering the pattern of emigration in the context of migration history, Choquette shows that, in many ways, the movement toward Canada occurred as a by-product of other, perennial movements, such as the rural exodus or interurban labor migrations. Overall, emigrants to Canada belonged to an outwardly turned and mobile sector of French society, and their migration took place during a phase of vigorous Atlantic expansion. They crossed the ocean to establish a subsistence economy and peasant society, traces of which lingered on into the twentieth century.
