Cannon Field 
River flows to the southwest, the rivers of 
the Cornwallis Valley to the northeast. 
As we crossed the water-shed we entered a 
new world of history and romance. The con- 
fused events that cluster about Port Royal gave 
way to the simple peace of the Acadians, — that 
sense of peace which even their sad expulsion 
cannot quite drive from our hearts. 
As we crossed that little rise of ground we 
neared the dike-lands of the Acadians and the 
home of Evangeline.
