Through letters, diaries, and other primary sources, Doughty provides a vivid and moving portrayal of the Acadian exiles, their struggles, and their resilience in the face of adversity.Overall, The Acadian Exiles is a compelling and informative book that sheds light on a little-known chapter of Canadian history and offers a valuable perspective on the enduring legacy of the Acadian people.Having removed the menace of the French forts, Lawrence was now able to deal more freely with the question of the Acadians. The opportunity for action was not long in presenting itself. In June the Acadians of Minas presented to Lawrence a petition couched in language not as tactful as it might have been. In this memorial they requested the restoration of some of their former privileges. They first assured the lieutenant-governor of their fidelity, which they had maintained in face of threats on the part of the French, and of their determination to remain loyal when in the enjoyment of former liberties.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
