    3. Today is the National Acadian Day and I got a good reminder of the need to tell the Acadian Story. I bought a book titled The Story of Canada by Donald Creighton. It is 291 pages and the exile of the Acadians in 1755 is covered on page 71 in one fragment of a sentence: "...Here Fort Beausejour and Fort Gaspereau were surrendered in a spiritless fashion; and here also the British found a summary and severe solution of the Acadian problem in the wholesale transportation of this adamantly neutral people to other parts of British America..."
