Beaubassin
AV 971.601 BEA
For seventy years - from 1670 to 1750 - Beaubassin was the agricultural centre on the isthmus of Chignecto. The Acadians built elaborate dykes to turn the salt marshes into productive land. French and English soldiers fought here to control the area. Beaubassin is now a designated historic site.
Land of Hope. Volume 1
AV 971 LAN
In 1755, the Acadian people were expelled from Nova Scotia by the British and forced to relocate in South Carolina. Ten-year-old George was uprooted from his home, forced to hide from bounty hunters and eventually found refuge amongst the Micmac people. It was only years later that his parents returned and they became a family again.
