The Lowell E. Daigle Book Manuscript examines Franco-American culture and society in Maine’s Upper St. John Valley, focusing on data gathered between the late 1960s and the early 1990s in a small hamlet pseudonymously referred to as “Alouette.” Organized into six chapters, the manuscript focuses on family, church, and recent changes in the study community. The manuscript also includes historical background about the Acadians prior to their arrival in Northern Maine.
