Ancient Willow Trees Believed to Be
Near Scene Of the Deportation
OF the Acadians.

Whoever has read LOngfellow's
poem, "Eyangeline." will be interested
in visiting the land of Evangeline, the
Annapolis valley in Nova Scotia, Can
ada and the country about Wolfyille.
which Is the center. Grand Pre-, the
little village which was the scene Of
the deportation Of the Acadlans in
1865, is only a short distance from
Wolfville, but little is left Of the vii
lage where the tragedy told of by the
poet was enacted. The chief object of
interest in what was once Grand Pre-,
are the mammoth, gnarled ancient will
low trees, known as Evangellne's will
lows, which stand, conspicuous group,
amid the fertile green meadows and
serve as a windbreak. They show
their age, these ancient trees, and were
undoubtedly planted by the French Ca
nadlans, for the Acadians invariably
planted willows wherever they settled,
and these trees are perpetual memo
rlals of them. Beside the willows,
there may be seen at the site Of Grand
Pre- the old well, portions Of the foun-
dations Of the church of st. Charles,
and some stones that mark the site Of
the priests house. These willow trees
are always visited by tourists, and al
though history does not exactly tally
with the poets account Of the deporta-
tions of the Acadians, and though there
may be division of opinion as to the
justice of the act by the English in the
deportation Of the Acadians, the old
willows tell no tales, but stand, sturdy
and strong and are slightly landmarks
still hale and vigorous.
