Great book detailing in Grand-Pre post 1755 deportation

This is an excellent book written by a John Frederic Herbin who was the only Acadian descendant living in Grand-Pre when he wrote the book. He details many of the unknown happenings following the Deportation of the Acadians from their land and the cruelty they suffered. He also writes about some victories though short-lived.Herbin is especilly remembered for purchasing that precious land where the Acadian Ancestors had lived and worship and had been deported from.. seeing to it that a memorial church would be built on the site of the old one.. and giving the land to the government of Nova Scotia - Grand-Pre then became a National Historic Site of the province.
