The fifteen oil paintings included in this publication are known as the Saga of the Acadians. Through them, artist George Rodrigue tells the story of his Acadian ancestors, beginning with their immigration from France to Acadie, a province of New France now known as Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and New Brunswick, Canada. He then depicts their expulsion from Acadie by the British during the Grand Derangement in 1755 and their resettlement in south Louisiana, where they eventually became known as Cajuns.
The book includes both the French and English versions side by side.
