Philippe Aubert de Gaspé (1786–1871)

Aubert de Gaspé, Philippe. A Canadian author; born in Quebec, Oct. 30, 1786; died there, Jan. 29, 1871. His ‘Old-Time Canadians’ (1862), and his ‘Memoirs’ (1866), treat of Canadian traditions and folklore, and were written in French. The former was perhaps the most popular book ever published in Canada. An English translation was made by Mrs. Pennie.
