News and Reflections: "Caraquette" (1832) -- June 4, 2023

6/4/2023

"Caraquette, as I have elsewhere observed, is rather an old settlement, the cause, perhaps, why its inhabitants particularly the women, exhibit more of the colour and features of the Micmac Indians, than is generally discernable in Acadians."

"This personal distinction, however, is also observable at Petit Roche, another French settlement farther up the Bay; and there is little doubt, that the peculiarity in both cases, is the result of the early settlers having intermarried with the savages."
