The name Acadia, which we now associate with a great tragedy of history and song, was first used by the French to distinguish the eastern or maritime part of New France from the western part, which began with the St Lawrence valley and was called Canada. Just where Acadia ended and Canada began, the French never clearly defined. In course of time, as will be seen, this question became a cause of war with the English--but we shall not be much at fault if we take a line from the mouth of the river Penobscot, due north to the St Lawrence, to mark the western frontier of the Acadia of the French.

This volume covers the period of hostility between the Acadians and the British Crown. (3 hr 35 min)

wonderful history of a people rarely referenced. the readers read a little too briskly, but their contribution was clear and professional.

A sobering view of the trials of the Acadian people

well read. I appreciate the diversity of the readers. the story is pure history but could easily be an epic. so many trials. I felt embarrassed to be Canadian when I heard how they were treated. an eye opener.
