Korte biografie
St. John de Crèvecoeur was born a French aristocrat. He served in the French army in Canada, and then emigrated to the USA, where he partly anglicized his name. He became famous by writing works aimed at Europeans that celebrated life in America and the opportunities available. He's the namesake of the town of St. Johnsbury, Vermont.

A Frenchman in pre-Revolutionary America up through 1782 farms in New York and corresponds with an Englishman by letter. Very enlightening.

Westvaco is the West Virginia Paper Co., makers of fine papers. For 47 years, they did a special Christmas book each year that they distributed to their customers, all featuring works from American history or literature. They all include a decorated slipcover, fine endpapers and many have embossed images on the book covers. Some feature gilt edges and silk ribbon bookmarks. Although they had a limited press run the number is not stated nor are they numbered or signed.

I read this a long time ago; what struck me was his praise of American reigous toleration despite his obvious contempt for the Calvinists who regarded their ministers as paid servants.(Do I remember this right? I read just now he was married by a French Calvinist minister.)

"... will afford a great deal of profitable and amusing information, respecting the private life of the Americans, as well as the progress of agriculture, manufactures, and arts, in their country. Perhaps the picture he gives, though found in fact, is in some instances embellished with rather too flattering circumstances." - GW to Richard Henderson, 19 June 1788.
