I was raised and played as a child in an around the Beausejour, Au Lac and Pree des Bourgs areas of Tantramar. As a child we used to play in canals in and around the Enterprise Foundry (not worried then about toxic waste.
As I grew older, as we are wont to do, I wanted to know more about where I came from and that resulted in a novel and hopefully a film...
I remember as a young child finding long abandoned building foundations on the high ground near the foundry.
And I was curious to see from where they might have come...
So over the last few years I have been trying to nail down the history of that tortured ground of my youth. Last year I drove around the old Enterprise site and the raw land adjoining certainly looked like dykelands and where there are dykelands, there were probably Acadians.
So here's my analysis by map, working from Paul Surette's positioning of Pree des Bourgs.
Comments, criticisms, observations will be very appreciated.
