About Me

FrenchNorthAmerica
I am David Vermette, a Franco-American writer and researcher originally from Massachusetts. I am the author of the book "A Distinct Alien Race: The Untold Story of Franco-Americans" (Montreal: Baraka Books, 2018). I have been researching French North America for a number of years and this blog is one fruit of this research. It involves equal parts intellect and love. My approach is to take information and weave it into stories. On this site, I tell the stories sometimes without showing all the steps that led me to my conclusions. If you want the steps, or you want to know what sources I have used please contact me through the comments. Please note that comments on this site are moderated.
