Book L acadie  Vol  1 of 2

Download or read book L acadie Vol 1 of 2 written by James E. Alexander and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from L'acadie, Vol. 1 of 2: Or, Seven Years' Explorations in British America L'acadie of the French, in North America, was understood to comprehend Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and part of Canada; it has been adopted as the title of this Work, as in the American Acadia were made the surveys and explorations, in which the author assisted, for the proposed Great Military Road to connect the British North American provinces. The present record of experiences, during seven years' service, will, it is to be hoped, be found to contain information which may tend to the advancement of Her Majesty's service in the Colonies, describe new fields for systematic colo nization, and also furnish subjects of varied interest for the general reader.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Nova Scotia, or Acadie, Vol. 1 In the review of the people who inhabited Nova Scotia at successive dates, the Micmacs, the French, and the English, I have seen many shining and noble qualities displayed in each successive age, both by leaders and followers. Some faults they had - isome crimes were committed but we, whosucceed them, may be happy if we can shew the courage, the endurance and generosity that are the attributes of the early adventurers and settlers of Acadie. Some periods of our history afford but little matter for connected narrative. At other times interesting transactions occur which do not form part of the regular sequence of events. In such cases I have preferred to place them in appendices to the chapters, instead of omitting them entirely, as I am anxious to preserve every thing of genuine interest that I have found in my enquiries. The leading idea with me has been to preserve from oblivion the past occurrences in this province. The frequent change of masters - the misfortunes that have often retarded its progress to civilization, and the varying effects that the contests of two great and noble nations have had on its des tiny, will hereafter give scope for philosophical minds to review, and for eloquent writers to expatiate on.

  • Author : Jeffers Lennox
  • Publisher : University of Toronto Press
  • Release : 2017-05-08
  • ISBN : 1442663812
  • Pages : 352 pages

Download or read book Homelands and Empires written by Jeffers Lennox and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2017-05-08 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The period from 1690 to 1763 was a time of intense territorial competition during which Indigenous peoples remained a dominant force. British Nova Scotia and French Acadia were imaginary places that administrators hoped to graft over the ancestral homelands of the Mi’kmaq, Wulstukwiuk, Passamaquoddy, and Abenaki peoples. Homelands and Empires is the inaugural volume in the University of Toronto Press’s Studies in Atlantic Canada History. In this deeply researched and engagingly argued work, Jeffers Lennox reconfigures our general understanding of how Indigenous peoples, imperial forces, and settlers competed for space in northeastern North America before the British conquest in 1763. Lennox’s judicious investigation of official correspondence, treaties, newspapers and magazines, diaries, and maps reveals a locally developed system of accommodation that promoted peaceful interactions but enabled violent reprisals when agreements were broken. This outstanding contribution to scholarship on early North America questions the nature and practice of imperial expansion in the face of Indigenous territorial strength.

Book A Taste of Acadie

    Book Details:
  • Author : Marielle Cormier-Boudreau
  • Publisher : Fredericton, N.B. : Goose Lane
  • Release : 1991
  • ISBN : 9780864921093
  • Pages : 0 pages

Download or read book A Taste of Acadie written by Marielle Cormier-Boudreau and published by Fredericton, N.B. : Goose Lane. This book was released on 1991 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For A Taste of Acadie, Melvin Gallant and Marielle Cormier-Boudreau travelled all over Acadia, from the Gaspé Peninsula to Cape Breton, from the tip of Prince Edward Island to the Magdalen Islands, and around northern New Brunswick and southern Nova Scotia. They gathered the culinary secrets of traditional Acadian cooks while there was still time, and then they adapted more than 150 recipes for today's kitchens. First published in 1991, A Taste of Acadie, the popular English translation of the best-selling Cuisine traditionalle en Acadie, is available once again. The indigenous cuisine of Acadia is a distant relative of French home cooking, born of necessity and created from what was naturally available. Roast porcupine or seal-fat cookies may not be to every modern diner's taste, but the few recipes of this nature in A Taste of Acadie hint at the ingenuity of women who fed their families with what the land provided. Most of the recipes, however, use ingredients beloved of today's cooks. Here you'll find fricot, a wonder of the Acadian imagination, pot en pot, a traditional Sunday dinner sometimes called grosse soupe, and dozens of meat pies. For those with a sweet tooth, Gallant and Cormier-Boudreau include recipes that use maple syrup and fresh wild berries. A Taste of Acadie is traditional cooking at its best, suffusing contemporary kitchens with country aromas and down-home flavours. Decorated with evocative woodcuts by Michiel Oudemans, it is a pleasure to look at and a charming addition in its own right to contemporary country-style kitchens.

Book A History of Law in Canada  Vol  1

Download or read book A History of Law in Canada Vol 1 written by Philip Girard and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2018-01-01 with total page 928 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History of Law in Canada is the first of two volumes. Volume one begins at a time just prior to European contact and continues to the 1860s, while volume two will start with Confederation and end at approximately 2000. The history of law includes substantive law, legal institutions, legal actors, and legal culture. The authors assume that since 1500 there have been three legal systems in Canada - the Indigenous, the French, and the English. At all times, these systems have co-existed and interacted, with the relative power and influence of each being more or less dominant in different periods. The history of law cannot be treated in isolation, and this book examines law as a dynamic process, shaped by and affecting other histories over the long term. The law guided and was guided by economic developments, was influenced and moulded by the nature and trajectory of political ideas and institutions, and variously exacerbated or mediated intercultural exchange and conflict. These themes are apparent in this examination, and through most areas of law including land settlement and tenure, and family, commercial, constitutional, and criminal law.

Book Writing Acadia

Download or read book Writing Acadia written by Runte and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-10-09 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The phenomenal development of writing and literary creation among the francophone communities of eastern Canada has gone largely unnoticed and unprobed outside the fragmented land of Acadia. Writing Acadia attempts for the first time to observe from a distance the invention of literature in oral Acadia, and to interpret, assess and order the manifold manifestations of the transition from epic story-telling to writing as a means of nation-building. Having begun to write, modern Acadia has truly (re)written herself into existence, an existence now threatened by postmodern unwriting of literature. Destined not only for specialists but also and especially for readers with a general interest in literature, including students of all levels, Writing Acadia presents generous samples of Acadian poetry, drama and prose, with accompanying English translations.

Book Contexts of Acadian History  1686 1784

Download or read book Contexts of Acadian History 1686 1784 written by Naomi E.S. Griffiths and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1992-03-16 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1600 there were no such people as the Acadians; by 1700 the Acadians, who numbered almost 2,000, lived in an area now covered by northern Maine, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and the southern Gaspé region of Quebec. While most of their ancestors had come to live there from France, a number had arrived from Scotland and England. Their relations with the original inhabitants of the region, the Micmac and Malecite peoples, were generally peaceful. In 1713 the Treaty of Utrecht recognized the Acadian community and gave their territory -- on the frontier between New England and New France -- to Great Britain. During the next forty years the Acadians continued to prosper and to develop their political life and distinctive culture. The deportation of 1755, however, exiled the majority of Acadians to other British colonies in North America. Some went on from their original destination to England, France, or Santo Domingo; many of those who arrived in France continued on to Louisiana; some Acadians eventually returned to Nova Scotia, but not to the lands they once held. The deportation, however, did not destroy the Acadian community. In spite of a horrific death toll, nine years of proscription, and the forfeiture of property and political rights, the Acadians continued to be part of Nova Scotia. The communal existence they were able to sustain, Griffiths shows, formed the basis for the recovery of Acadian society when, in 1764, they were again permitted to own land in the colony. Instead of destroying the Acadian community, the deportation proved to be a source of power for the formation of Acadian identity in the nineteenth century. By placing Acadian history in the context of North American and European realities, Griffiths removes it from the realms of folklore and partisan political interpretation. She brings into play the current historiographical concerns about the development of the trans-Atlantic world of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, considerably sharpening our focus on this period of North American history.
