About the author
Born in Napierville, Quebec, in 1823 and deceased in Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1894, Narcisse Cyr was a Baptist pastor, journalist, and author. Records of his work show that he wrote in both French and English and was active in religious and intellectual circles in Canada and the United States.
His known books include Memoir of the Rev. C. H. O. Cote, M.D. (1852), Cruel Persecutions of the Protestants in the Kingdom of France (1893), and The Great Schools of the Paris Latin Quarter (1891). Taken together, these works suggest a writer interested in Protestant history, biography, education, and the place of French-speaking culture in a wider transatlantic world.
Some later references also describe him as a professor of French at Boston University. A clear portrait of Narcisse Cyr was not readily confirmed from reliable image sources during this search, so no profile image is included here.
