CASGRAIN, Abbe Henry Raymond - A Stan Klos Biography
CASGRAIN, Abbe Henry Raymond, Canadian author,
born at Rivière Ouelle, Quebec, 16 December, 1831. He pursued a course of
classical studies at Ste. Anne's College, and studied medicine for a short time,
but finally took a course in theology in the seminary of Quebec, and was
ordained a priest on 5 October, 1856.
He was successively professor at Ste. Anne's College
until 1859, vicar of Beaufort, and afterward at Quebec cathedral from 1860 till
1873. He visited Europe in 1858, 1867, and 1873, in quest of historical
material. In 1874, in consequence of a serious affection of the eyes, he was
compelled to retire from active ministerial work.
His "Legends Canadien" (Quebec, 1861) was favorably
received, and followed by "L'histoire de la Marie de l'incarnation" (1864),
which was translated into German by the Abbe Geiger of Munich (Ratisbon, 1873).
The most important of his other writings are " Histoire d'Hotel Dieu de Quebec"
and "Ma paroisse Canadienne au xviième siècle." A complete edition of his works
was published in Montreal in 1886.
