“Reviews of Books”, Jeanne Mance, by J.K. Foran, Reviewed by A.G. Doughty, The Canadian Historical Review, vol. 14, no. 4 (December) 1933, pp. 437-440.

In this review of the book, Jeanne Mance or ‘The Angel of the Colony’, by J.K. Foran, Montreal: The Herald Press, 1931, A.G. Doughty noted, “Dr. Foran has gathered the scattered facts relating to Jeanne Mance, and placed them into an easy narrative for English readers, and in this he has done well” (p. 437).  However, Doughty found Foran’s treatment of his heroine, Jeanne Mance, an important figure in Quebec history, as falling short of her legacy.
