"Grand-Pré - Heart of Acadie"
This well-illustrated book examines the
history of Grand-Pré - the most cherished of all Acadian settlements - from the
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. Today's
Grand-Pré, Grand-Pré National Historic Site of Canada, is a place that touches
the hearts of millions of Acadians - and millions of others who have come to
know its history.
