2 unusual facts about Joseph Groulx


Joseph Groulx

Deschênes and Bénéteau record the suggestion by Madame Carrière that her late husband's work on the French storytelling tradition in the Windsor/Detroit area, for which Groulx was claimed as his chief source, was carried out at the significant encouragement of a fellow Franco-Ontarian, politician and diplomat Paul Martin, Sr.

In 1940 he reportedly assisted a French-language scholar, Joseph Médard Carrière, in transcribing French stories, which were added to a university folklore database and eventually published in Donald Deschênes and Marcel Bénéteau's Contes du Détroit (Prise de parole, 2005), which won the Prix Mnémo in 2006.
