[Illustration: Evangeline's Well
Evangeline's Land is romantic and beautiful at any time, but in
apple-blossom time it is adorable; a riot of blossom everywhere, of
purest white, cream and shell pink, and, in the midst of it all in a
little hollow or dip in the road one comes upon the tiny village of
Grand Pré--straggling down a gentle slope to the basin of Minas. In
the Spring the village is almost buried in blossom, and so peaceful
now, tho' the scene of so much sorrow and tragedy in the past, of
which one is reminded by Evangeline's Well, and an old stone cross,
which marks the site where the village once stood. A picturesque row
of ancient willows, planted by the Acadians, helps to bring back the
pathos and tragedy of that time even now.]
