de Montroy, Jacques Dumont — Les Kergorlay Dans L'Oise Et En Normandie

Florian de Kergorlay, known as "the Rigid Voice" and his son Louis have almost fallen into oblivion in Beauvais. The former, however, had his moment of national fame under the Restoration and the July Monarchy: the latter remains known in Paris and Normandy through his correspondence with Alexis de Tocqueville, of whom he was the cousin and close friend.
