The Land of Evangeline: The Authentic Story of Her Country and Her People With Evangeline by H. W. Longfellow E-text prepared by David T. Jones, Pat McCoy, Mardi Desjardins, "The Land of Evangeline: The Authentic Story of Her Country and Her People" by John F. Herbin is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the rich history and culture of the Acadian people, particularly focusing on the area known as Grand-Pré, which is famed through Longfellow's poem "Evangeline." The narrative explores themes of exile, loss, and the enduring spirit of the Acadian community, providing a vivid backdrop for the poignant story of Evangeline and her lover, Gabriel. The opening of the book introduces readers to Grand-Pré, a picturesque village that was once home to a thriving Acadian community, and sets the stage for recounting the tragic events of the Acadian Deportation in 1755. It describes the idyllic landscape during the bloom of apple trees and immerses readers in the daily life of the villagers before their forced exile. The chapter highlights prominent families and details the agricultural practices that sustained the Acadian way of life, emphasizing the beauty and tragedy of their heritage, which will become central to Evangeline's tale as the narrative unfolds.
