Author’s Tranquility Press proudly announces the release of The Acadians: One Acadian Family and les Maudits Anglais (the Damn English) by Samuel Andre Aucoin, a sweeping narrative that brings to life the resilience and endurance of the Acadian people. Tracing generations from the 1600s to the Vietnam War era, this book captures the powerful journey of a community torn by war and forged by the indomitable spirit of survival and friendship.
The book begins with the migration of French settlers to northeastern America, establishing the region known as Acadia. These settlers, who came to embrace their identity as Acadians, found themselves trapped between the might of the French and English superpowers. The tragic expulsion of 1755 marked a period of unimaginable suffering, scattering the Acadians across North America, with some finding refuge in Louisiana and others in Eastern Canada and New England. This forced migration not only altered the lives of countless families but also gave rise to the Cajun culture of Louisiana, a testament to their enduring heritage.
In a touching parallel to their ancestors’ struggles, Aucoin introduces readers to the friendship of two young men—a Cajun from Louisiana and an Acadian from New Hampshire—who meet in the 1960s while serving in the U.S. Army. Against the backdrop of the Vietnam War, these friends discover a shared cultural history and resilience that echoes the legacy of their Acadian roots.
