The Acadians at Grand Pré / by Margaret Coleman. : R61-2/7-1E-PDF
"From the time the first settlers came to the Grand Pré region from Port Royal in the early 1680's the area grew until by 1701 it had become the largest centre of Acadian population in what after 1713 was Nova Scotia. Grand Pré itself was the heart of a wider area known as Minas or "Les Mines", an area which included settlement on the modem Rivers Pereau, Habitant, Canard and Cornwallis and at times the Avon River. In sorting through the records of the Acadians' years in present-day Nova Scotia, one so frequently finds the term Minas used instead of the names of the individual settlements that it is virtually impossible to isolate them. Therefore this study looks at Acadian history in the Minas area, a history which is commemorated today at Grand Pré National Historic Park, from its beginnings in the 1680's until the expulsion of 1755"--Abstract, page [1].
