	Garneau, FranÃ§ois-Xavier
		Garneau, F.X. Garneau's Histoire was read as a national epic and a monument to "la survivance", lithograph (courtesy Library and Archives Canada/C-6721).
		Garneau presented the history of French Canadians as a struggle for survival - against the Indians and Anglo-Americans on the battlefield, and then against the English-Canadian oligarchy in the parliamentary arena.
		Garneau lived a quiet life first as a notary and, later, from 1844 to 1864 as city clerk.

	Dictionary of Canadian Biography Online
		Garneau spent two years here in what was called a “mutual” school, in which teaching was conducted according to the method of English educator Joseph Lancaster, the most advanced pupils being used as instructors.
		On 13 March 1841 Garneau’s paper reported the formation of a general committee, chaired by John Neilson, whose object was to found an institute as inspired by Vattemare, a sort of federation of the cultural societies in the town of Quebec, to foster wider diffusion of knowledge and bring “classes” and “races” closer together.
		Garneau the perfectionist re-examined his entire Histoire du Canada for the new edition: not a page escaped correction, a substantial number of additions and changes were made, the narrative was filled out by new documents, and the style was carefully revised and polished.

	François-Xavier Garneau
		When, through Dr. O'Callaghan, the United States Government had secured copies of the correspondence of the French colonial governors, Garneau went to Albany to study these documents and gather materials for his future volumes, which appeared successively in 1846 and 1848, the third volume recording events as late as the Constitution of 1792.
		Its first pages were written shortly after the troubles of 1837 and 1838, at the dawn of the Union of the Canadas, which was the outcome and penalty of the Rebellion.
		The title of "national historian" rightly belongs to this pioneer in the field of Canadian history, who spent twenty-five years of patient research and patriotic devotedness on a work destined to draw the attention of Europe and the United States to the glories of his country.

	Francois Xavier Garneau Summary
		Thus at the age of 16 Garneau was apprenticed to the well-to-do lawyer Archibald Campbell, gaining professional status and considerable cultural enrichment.
		Garneau, the son François-Xavier and Gertrude Amiot-Villeneuve Garneau, received little formal education after the age of fourteen, but like many other distinguished Victorians, he was fortunate in the interest certain able individuals took in him during his formative years, J.-F. Perrault and Archibald Campbell among them.
		Garneau's work was in itself a solid achievement worthy to have survived on its own merits, but the appeal of the Catholic-nationalist view of him cannot be disassociated from his long-continuing popularity.
