Abstract

On 25 August 1755, the New York Gazette printed a dispatch from Nova Scotia: We are now upon a great and noble Scheme of sending the neutral French out of this Province, who have always been our secret Enemies... John Mack Faragher tells the story of the expulsion of 18,000 Acadians in gripping prose. Following specific families through the anguish of their removal, he brings to light a tragic chapter in the settlement of America.
