Authors Sally Ross and Alphonse Deveau draw on original seventeenth-century texts, as well as up-to-date sources. They examine the history of the Expulsion--the \u003ci\u003eGrand Dérangement\u003c\/i\u003e--that began in 1755, and trace the return of the Acadians and their resettlement in seven areas of the province.
