Evangeline (Yesterday's Classics)

The complete text of Longfellow's epic poem inspired by the expulsion of the Acadians from Nova Scotia in 1755 and their resettlement in British colonies in North America, focusing on the maiden Evangeline, her betrothal to Gabriel, their separation during the relocation, and her lifelong search for Gabriel that ensued. Attractive drawings and color illustrations by Arthur Dixon complement the text of this much loved poem.
