Sods, Soil, and Spades: The Acadians at Grand Pri and Their Dykeland Legacy.
- French Acadians began settling in the Grand Pre pad of Nova Scotia, a site plagued by salt-soaked tidal meadows, in the seventeenth century. By the middle of the eighteenth century, a confused mechanism of sod barriers had enabled them to priory 3,000 acres of what had been tidal marshes matter very pleasant crop land. Four hundred years after the Acadian arrival in the Bay of Fundy region, the physical presence of their legacy is still intact. Sherman Bleakney, a marine biologist, examines the unusual physical and biological features of this region of the Bay of Fundy, home to the only successful pioneer culture in North America to farm below sea level. Sods, Soil, and Spades examines the unique and elegant engineering principles and practices used by the Acadians and looks at how their culture influenced their success in mastering this marshland region..
