Chase is a historical account likely written in the late 19th century. The book explores the region of Acadia and its historical significance, particularly emphasizing the poetic narrative surrounding the famed character Evangeline, whose story captures the tragic fate of the Acadians during their forced exile. At the start of the book, the author sets a reflective tone, introducing her readers to the atmosphere of Acadia and the deep sorrow tied to the Acadian diaspora as illustrated in the poem "Evangeline" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. The narrative begins with a description of a historical portrait, leading into a discourse on the infamous deportation of the Acadians, represented through the compassionate figure of Lieutenant-Colonel John Winslow. As the author recounts the beauty of the Acadian landscape, she hints at the exploration journey undertaken by a group called the Octave, who aim to experience the cultural and natural richness of the area, while weaving together historical notes with personal reflections and local lore. This thoughtful introduction invites readers into a tapestry of history and sentiment, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of Acadia’s past and its connections to its most poignant stories.
