Acadian driftwood : one family and the Great Expulsion / Tyler LeBlanc. by LeBlanc, Tyler, 1989- Goose Lane Editions, 2020. Call #: 929.20971 L445a Subjects LeBlanc, Tyler, 1989- -- Family.   Leblanc family.   Acadians -- Nova Scotia -- History -- Expulsion, 1755.   Evelyn Richardson Non-Fiction Award.   Atlantic Book Award for Historical Writing. ISBN:  9781773101187 (pbk.) Alternate title:  One family and the Great Expulsion Description:  194 p. : map ; 22 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references. Summary:  "Growing up on the south shore of Nova Scotia, Tyler LeBlanc wasn't fully aware of his family's Acadian roots--until a chance encounter with an Acadian historian prompted him to delve into his family history. LeBlanc's discovery that he could trace his family all the way to the time of the Acadian Expulsion and beyond forms the basis of this compelling account of Le Grand Dérangement. Piecing together his family history through archival documents, Tyler LeBlanc tells the story of Joseph LeBlanc (Tyler's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather), Joseph's ten siblings, and their families. With descendants scattered across modern-day Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, the LeBlancs provide a window into the diverse fates that awaited the Acadians when they were expelled from their Acadian homeland. Some escaped the deportation and were able to retreat into the wilderness. Others found their way back to Acadie. But many were exiled to Britain or the future United States, where they faced suspicion and prejudice and struggled to settle into new lives. A unique biographical approach to the history of the Expulsion, Acadian Driftwood is a vivid insight into one family's experience of this traumatic event."--From publisher.
