Description
Summary:This article presents the results of research into the life and work of Georges Nestler Tricoche (1859-1938), a naturalised American citizen born in France. A prolific journalist, Tricoche showed a keen interest in the Acadians of Atlantic Canada. His books and newspaper stories demonstrate his appreciation of Acadian culture. After losing her husband, his father’s young second wife sought refuge in the USA with her older stepson. Both Tricoche were stranded in Canada following a misunderstanding with immigration officers. They settled in Newfoundland where Georges Tricoche died. The author argues that the contributions of Tricoche deserve recognition. Cet article retrace la vie et la carrière de Georges Nestler Tricoche (1859-1938), Français naturalisé citoyen américain. Journaliste prolifique, Tricoche s’intéressa particulièrement aux Acadiens de la région Atlantique. Ses livres et ses articles démontrent une vive sympathie pour les Acadiens. Devenue veuve, la deuxième et jeune épouse de son père se réfugia auprès de son beau-fils aux États-Unis. À la suite d’un quiproquo frontalier, belle-mère et beau-fils ne purent rentrer aux États-Unis après un voyage au Canada. Ils trouvèrent refuge à Terre-Neuve où Georges mourut. L’auteur plaide pour une reconnaissance des contributions de Tricoche.
