A WILL TO SURVIVE - ACADIANS 1755 the family BASTARACHE DIT LE BASQUE , the story of a family in the French colony of Acadia since 1680. In 1755, the British launched a cruel military campaign in North America, invading Acadia in a blitzkrieg that captured over 7,000 Acadians, driving as many into the forests, hunted by the British during three more years of terror. The Bastarache family is among these beleaguered people. Michel and Pierre Bastarache fight a losing battle to defend their homes, enduring capture and slavery at the hand of the British. They experience escapes, fights, and a walk of hundreds of miles seeking lost family. Along the way, from unexpected sources, they see the depth of terror and the heights of friendship. Based on recorded history, the story of the Bastarache dit le Basque is a compelling look at the strength of their will to survive in the face of unfathomable displays of man's inhumanity to man.
