Of the Louisiana French, the Acadians form the most homogeneous group, coming to the Bayou in small groups after the English dispersion of their Canadian settlement in 1755. These recordings, made 220 years later, are the result of a field trip by Gerard Dole in 1975, and are collected with his notes and bilingual lyrics. Includes Nathan Abshire, Hector Duhon, Marc Savoy. 13 performances.
