Notaire et homme de lettres, Garneau est né et décédé à Québec. Greffier de la ville de 1844 à 1864, il participa aux travaux de la Literary and Historical Society of Québec et de l'Institut Canadien de Québec, dont il fut l'un des fondeurs. Mais il est avant tout réputé pour son "Histoire du Canada depuis sa découverte jusqu'à nos jours", qui connut trois éditions de son vivant et qui cadre admirablement avec le sursaut nationaliste provoqué par le Rapport Durham. Garneau demeure, à titre d'historien national, l'écrivain canadien-français le plus important du XIXe siècle par la qualité et l'influence de son oeuvre.
Inscription on the plaque:
Notary and writer, Garneau was born and died in Québec City. He was City Clerk from 1844 to 1864 and was active in the Literary and Historical Society of Quebec and in the Institut Canadien de Quebec of which he was a founder. His fame rests on his "History of Canada, from the Time of its Discovery till the Union Year 1840-41", which admirably expresses the surge of French Canadian national feeling provoked by the Durham Report. Recognized by his contemparies as their historien national, he is now regarded as the most important French Canadian writer of the l9th century both for the quality and the influence of his work.
