- Summary
- The Acadians are North Americans of French descent who have been in the Western Hemisphere for nearly 400 years. During that time they have remained a relatively homogeneous group. The early history of the Acadians has been previously well-documented. Dr. Brasseaux, a history scholar-teacher, has been heard telling students to investigate their roots in their studies. In this well researched and written volume, he has done just that himself. He relates in easily readable form the settling of Acadian South Louisiana. He is fortunate to have a large collection of Spanish Colonial documents literally at his fingertips to assist in his research. His book is a "must read" for anyone who wants the real picture of the beginnings of Acadiana.
