Charles-Auguste-Maximilien (C.A.M.) Globensky (November 15, 1830 – February 12, 1906) was a writer and politician. C.A.M. Globensky was the grandson of August Franz Globensky, a Hessian surgeon who settled in Verchères, Quebec, and the son of Lieutenant-Colonel Maximilien Globensky. ==Career== He was born in Saint-Eustache, Lower Canada and was educated at the Seminaire de Ste-Therese and the College de Montreal. Globensky was seigneur of Milles-Isles.〔 An expert in agriculture, C.A.M. Globensky published a number of articles on the subject and was president of the Agricultural Society of Two Mountains. In 1854, he married Virginia Marguerite Dumont. In 1868 and 1869 he wrote a series of articles on the development of railways in Quebec. Beginning in 1873, he published widely read political articles in ''Le Monde'' and ''La Minerve''. In 1883 he published a book, ''La Rébellion de 1837 à Saint-Eustache'', dedicated to defending the memory of his father against accusations of not supporting the Patriotes in the 1837 Rebellion as well as providing a political analysis of the uprising. In an 1875 by-election, he sought a seat in the Canadian House of Commons as an Independent representing Two Mountains. During the election campaign, the loyalist sympathies of his family were the subject of debate, but he was elected nevertheless. Disliking politics, he resigned his office the following year. In 1888 he was offered a seat in the Canadian Senate but declined. Globensky also served as mayor of Saint-Eustache. He died in Saint-Eustache at the age of 75. Today, his home located at 233 rue Saint-Eustache in Saint-Eustache, Quebec, is home to a museum displaying information about and relics from the Battle of Saint-Eustache in 1837. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Charles Auguste Maximilien Globensky」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
