The History Of Grand-Pre: The Home Of Longfellow�������s Evangeline is a book written by John Frederic Herbin and originally published in 1907. The book is a comprehensive account of the history of Grand-Pre, a small village located in Nova Scotia, Canada. Grand-Pre is known for being the setting of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow�������s famous poem, Evangeline, which tells the story of two lovers who were separated during the Acadian Expulsion of 1755. Herbin�������s book explores the real-life events that inspired Longfellow�������s poem, as well as the history of the Acadian people who lived in Grand-Pre and the surrounding areas.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a different aspect of Grand-Pre�������s history. The first chapter provides an overview of the area�������s geography and early inhabitants, while subsequent chapters delve into the arrival of the Acadians, their way of life, and their eventual expulsion by the British.Herbin also discusses the aftermath of the expulsion, including the resettlement of the Acadians in Louisiana and the eventual return of some Acadians to Nova Scotia. The final chapters of the book focus on the legacy of Grand-Pre and its importance as a cultural and historical landmark.Overall, The History Of Grand-Pre: The Home Of Longfellow�������s Evangeline is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in Canadian history, Acadian culture, or the literary legacy of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
