“Evangeline: A Tale of Acadie” tells the tragic story of Evangeline Bellefontaine and Gabriel Lajeunesse, two young Acadian lovers separated during the Great Expulsion of the Acadians from Nova Scotia in 1755. Through years of wandering across North America, Evangeline searches faithfully for Gabriel, encountering the hardships and hopes of the displaced Acadian people. Her enduring love and devotion, culminating in a final poignant reunion, make the poem one of the most moving works of American romantic literature. Probably around 1930
