The History of Acadia From its First Discovery to its Surrender to England by the Treaty of Paris
It is difficult enough to write a book once, but this author had to write his book twice. Half of his printed volume and most of his manuscript was burned in the 1877 fire at St. John, New Brunswick and he had to start all over again. The entire book is devoted to the French history of Acadia and -being written by an Englishman- is minus its normal bias. Chapter headings include: Early voyages to the Northern Parts of America; the Aborigines of Acadia; Champlain's Discoveries and the Island of Ste-Croix; The Colony at Port Royal; Poutrincourt's Colony; Sir William Alexander and the Latour; Isaac de Razilly's Colony; Civil War in Acadia; The Sieges and Capture of Fort La Tour; The Death of Charnisay; LaTour Returns to Acadia; The English in Acadia; From Grand-Fontaine to Menneval; Villebon on the St.John; The Capture of Port Royal; The Acadian People; The English at Annapolis; The Capture of Louisbourg; The Capitulation at Grand-Pre; La Loutre and His Work; The Fall of Beausejour; The Expulsion of the Acadians The Seven Year's War; The Treaty of Paris
