Longfellow's epic poem of Evangeline and Gabriel, two lovers separated as a result of the 1755 Acadian deportation from Nova Scotia by the English. The story follows the Acadians' journey from Grand Pre to Louisiana, and Evangeline's search for Gabriel down the Mississippi. The heroine Evangeline has remained an icon of Acadian identity throughout North America ever since the poem's publication in 1847.
