Book Description
Although her primary aim was to write in Acadian French to preserve the language and culture of her ancestors, Marie-Colombe saw the need to write for her English-speaking friends. After all, they too lived in an era when there were no modern conveniences such as electricity and bathrooms. She felt they, like her Acadian friends and relatives, would also enjoy her humorous anecdotes of the past. So she decided to undertake the challenging task of translating her first book.

Book Description
"Acadian Reminiscences, depicting the True Life of Evangeline, is a story centered about the life of the Acadians whose descendants are now residents of the Teche Country also known as the Land of Evangeline. "These people lived a pure and simple life with an unbounded devotion to their religion and with an unshakable faith in their God. Their love for one another is unparalleled in the annals of human history, to which may be attributed their fortitude and perseverance in their travels from Canada, upon being expelled by the British, to their chosen Land on the banks of Bayou Teche. "The author, Judge Felix Voorhies, relates the story as it was told to him by his grandmother. The story begins by telling of the native land of these Acadians and of the village of St. Gabriel from which they were driven when the French Province was surrendered to the British. It tells of members of the same families being separated and placed aboard different ships and some never to see each other again. The story tells of their landing in Maryland and after some time, hearing that members of theirs and other families having landed in Louisiana. This news brought encouragement and determination, in face of great dangers, to travel to the beautiful Land of the Teche. "The author was best able to present this story as it was handed down to him by word of mouth by his grandmother who adopted Evangeline when orphaned at an early age. The writer repeats the story in a simple narrative manner characteristic of the Acadians. "To this day travelers may visit the quaint town of St. Martinsville on the banks of Bayou Teche and pay their respects at the grave shrine of Evangeline and for a few fleeting moments live the life of these early settlers. "Because of the demands for this story and in tribute to Judge Felix Voorhies, my grandfather, a man of noble character, staunch patriotism and unerring judgment, I, together with all members of the Voorhies family, dedicate this book." -FELIX BIRNEY VOORHIES Table of Contents Introduction I. Reminiscences II. Acadian Manners and Customs III. Rumors of War IV. Threatening Clouds V. Acadian Exiles VI. A Night of Terror VII. Generous Friends VIII. Evangeline IX. Louisiana
