''Over The Border: Acadia'' is a novel written by Eliza Chase. The book is set in Acadia, a region in North America that was once a French colony, and follows the story of a young woman named Catherine as she navigates the challenges of living in a divided community. Catherine is a member of the Acadian community, which is made up of French-speaking Catholics who have lived in the region for generations. However, tensions are high between the Acadians and the English-speaking Protestants who have recently arrived in the area. As Catherine tries to find her place in this divided community, she falls in love with a young Englishman named Thomas. Their relationship is met with opposition from both sides of the community, as their families and friends are wary of the cultural and religious differences between them. Throughout the book, Catherine and Thomas must navigate the complexities of their relationship while also dealing with the larger issues facing their community. These include the threat of violence and displacement as the English government seeks to take control of the region and the Acadians struggle to maintain their way of life. ''Over The Border: Acadia'' is a compelling historical novel that explores themes of identity, love, and community in a complex and divided setting. With vivid descriptions and engaging characters, Eliza Chase brings this fascinating period of North American history to life.By the treaty of Utrecht in 1713 Acadia was ceded to the English; but the French colonists, in taking the oath of allegiance to their new rulers (1727-28), were promised that they should not be required at any time to take up arms against France. They were now in the position of Neutrals, and by that name were known; but this placed them in an awkward predicament, as they were suspected by both contending powers. The English hated them, believing their sympathies to be with the French; while even their countrymen in Canada were distrustful of them, urging them to withdraw.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
