About the author
Born in Saint-Jean-Port-Joli in 1849, Louis-Georges Desjardins was a Canadian journalist, writer, and politician from Quebec. He studied at the Collège de Lévis and at the Military College in Quebec City, then built a career in journalism before moving into public life.
Desjardins is remembered not only for his political career but also for his writing. Catalog records and historical references connect his name with published speeches, political texts, and books including England, Canada and the Great War (1918), showing a body of work closely tied to public debate and current events of his era.
He died in Montreal in 1928. For readers today, his books are especially interesting as firsthand documents from a journalist-author who wrote from inside the civic and political conversations of French Canada.
