Deportation of
the Prince Edward Island
Acadians
Earle Lockerby
When the fortress of Louisbourg fell to the British in
1758, the Acadians of Prince Edward Island (then known
as Ile Saint-Jean) were doomed to a horrible fate -
deportation from their homes to an unknown land
thousands of kilometers away.  Shipwrecks and disease
took a terrible toll during the voyage to France, and
hundreds of the approximately three thousand deportees
lost their lives.

Earle Lockerby's meticulously researched account sheds
new light on this tragic event, from its implementation, to
the experiences of the Acadians who eluded British
troops and escaped to the mainland, to the deportees'
arrival in Europe.  Featuring excerpts from original
documents and letters, Deportation of the Prince
Edward Island Acadians is an important record of this
neglected chapter in the saga of the Acadian people.
