The Acadian Miracle by Dudley J. LeBlanc (1966), 1st edition, hardcover (no jacket), 419 pages.

History books in general are just plain hard to get through. They are usually written over my head so will rarely get over 3 stars. But, I do read them from time to time to learn more about my ancestors.

Now, I paid a lot of money for this rare book ($100) published in 1966 because it does mention my direct line LeBlanc ancestors from Acadia, Nova Scotia, and has a blownup image of my 7th great-grandfather's (Rene LeBlanc) signature recorded on a document dated July 30, 1709, on page 26.

I love the fact that this author included snippets of original documentation to back up his writing. I learned more from this book, so far, than any other historical books written on the Acadians....even though I had to read very slowly and without any other distractions to understand what I was reading.

Absolute must if you are an Acadian descendant and have a passion for our heritage and genealogy. It’s not an easy read, more of a documentary and reference book. We owe Dudley J LeBlanc huge gratitude for this book.
