Used Book in Good Condition
He's most definitely talking about Beausoleil. This guy was a mother-fucking badass Acadian guerrilla warrior. He would lead coordinated attacks with his brother, the two of them simultaneously attacking British troop garrisons in different locations, so the British thought he had magical powers to be in two places at the same time. He was caught by the British multiple times and managed to dig his way out of prison just to return to the fight. He even hijacked British ships and formed a small Acadian Navy to help fight against the British. He's a total hero. There are ongoing expeditions attempting to find his burial site.
My father actually wrote a book on him :0) Here is a short essay he wrote on the topic.
