Reviews

[Leonide Martin · Rating 4 out of 5]

Comprehensive history of the Acadians and Nova Scotia, full of details and providing insights about factors underlying the conflicts rampant in this region. Provides various viewpoints, with more from the British and New England perspectives than other Acadian books. Relates the complex interplay between colonial issues and the several European wars that strongly affected these. Interesting, well-written, many helpful illustrations. Brings the turbulent history in this region up to the time of the Acadian expulsion in 1755.

This book is a great overview of this period of time and place - not always engaging but well written
