Description:
Evangeline for Children
Elizabeth Moore
Kindergarten-Grade 3-A simplified version of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's epic poem that chronicles the story of the Acadian people, who were forced out of Canada by the British when they refused to pledge their loyalty to the English throne. Many of them went to Louisiana, where they were welcomed. There, Evangeline searched throughout her life for her lover, Gabriel, finding him when both were old and dying. "-[N]ever united in life, their souls are now one." The ancestors of these settlers, now referred to as "Cajuns," continue to play an important role in the culture of the state today. |
