LePage the first Franco
Description
Letter to the editor on the subject of Paul LePage, Maine's 2010 governor-elect, being the state's first Franco-American governor. Some minor disputes have risen over this point, with historians looking back to the nineteenth century to find one Alonzo Garcelon, a resident of Lewiston and of part French (France) heritage, serving as legislature-elected governor for about 1 year's time. The letter here, and the dispute more largely, seeks to segregate Garcelon's ethnicity from Paul LePage's - the latter containing the historicity of the bulk of Maine's French-Canadian descendents - though both are definably Franco-American.
