History
“Beausoleil” pays tribute to Joseph Brossard (Broussard), said BEAUSOLEIL, who was a settler, militiaman, born in 1702 at Port-Royal (Annapolis Royal, N.-E.). Joseph Brossard is still acclaimed for his bravery as leader of the Acadian resistance from the top of the Petitcodiac River at the time of the deportation, especially by the Acadians of Louisiana, where he became a legend. The painting of Joseph Brossard said Beausoleil is the work of Raynald Basque.
