From “The Acadian Miracle” by Dudley J. LeBlanc:<\/p>\n
ACADIANS WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR<\/p>\n
We were fortunate to have found authentic lists containing the names of the men who served in the militia at the different Acadian settlements at the time that Galvez organized his army and from these\u00a0records, therefore, we have the names of the Acadians in Louisiana who took actual part in the American Revolution. These were copied from the records in Seville, Spain. Some were written in French; others were written in Spanish.<\/p>\n
