Grand-Pré, Heart of Acadie

This well-illustrated book examines the history of Grand-Pré - the most cherished of all Acadian settlements - from 1680s to 1755. Authors John Johnston and Wayne Kerr bring the thriving village to life, and put in perspective the defining episode in its history, and in the history of the Acadian people as a whole: the tragic Deportation that was carried out across the entire Maritime region beginning in 1755. www.grand-pre.com/catalogue_en.cfm?categoryID=2
