The story follows the life of a young Acadian woman named Evangeline who is separated from her love, Gabriel, during the expulsion of the Acadians. The story follows Evangeline's journey as she searches for Gabriel and the trials and tribulations she faces along the way.Overall, Acadian Reminiscences, With The True Story Of Evangeline is a fascinating account of the Acadian people and their history in Louisiana.
