Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On May 10, 1785, the Bon Papa, a modest three-master of 280 tons, hoisted its sails at Paimboeuf, France, near Nantes, and headed west. On board were thirty-six families whom the owner of the boat had promised to bring to port. The ship, which arrived at its destination on July 29, 1785--after eighty days on the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico waters--was only the first of seven ships carrying nearly 1,600 Acadians to Spain's Louisiana colony. Thirty years, almost to the day, before the arrival of Bon Papa in New Orleans, seven or eight times as many Acadians had embarked on ships from Nova Scotia, Canada. Between July 28 and July 31, 1755, the English governor of the colony, Charles Lawrence, as a prelude to the Seven Years' War, made the decision to expel all inhabitants of French origin within his territory. Many of the exiled Acadians were deported to the American colonies, the Caribbean, Britain, or France. Nearly one-third of those deported died from disease or drownings. Those who did survive the journey often struggled to survive and assimilate in their new communities, even in their motherland of France. This book examines the Acadians while exiled in France. Based on a tremendous amount of primary source research, Mouhot tells their story in great detail, while he also challenges many previous interpretations and understandings of their experiences in their "homeland."

This book was released on 2004 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reconstructing the Acadian diaspora, this study argues two interconnected points. First, it posits that Acadians were not an unchanging, autochthonous community, whether before or during their generation-long exodus. From Philadelphia to the Caribbean to the plains of Poitou, Acadians forged new communities in conversation with local authorities and contexts. Second, this dissertation contends that these ad hoc groups reveal the shape of a broader world. Acadians remade themselves to suit a pan-oceanic market for labor dominated by empires---knowing that bigger numbers meant better offers, refugees used violence and the political resources of others to fashion communities tailored to imperial needs. In so doing, they reveal an "Atlantic World" which, from the vantage point of the marginalized, was less an integrated whole or "single functional unit"--A commonplace in current literature---than a series of politicized markets for labor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Barnabé Martin and Jeanne Pelletret, son René, grandson Jean-Baptiste, and great-grandson Simon is the story of an Acadian family who developed a productive farm they left to escape the 1755 deportation. The family sought shelter along the lower Saint Lawrence during the French and Indian War, resettled on the central Saint John River until the arrival of the Loyalists after the American Revolutionary War, and resettled along the upper Saint John River. The work of 20 years, Our Acadian Martin Family History describes details of their daily lives and historical events impacting the family directly. Findlen takes readers to a richer understanding of an Acadian family's perilous journey from Acadia (Nova Scotia) to Northern Maine and New Brunswick, Canada. The book's genealogy not only supplies the genealogy of the Martin family but also provides the names of Acadians who served as godparents of baptized Martins and as witnesses to Martin marriages. Family historians and genealogists tracking their own Acadian families will find invaluable resources and leads for discovering their stories.
