Abraham Pineo Gesner
Abraham Pineo Gesner (; May 2, 1797 – April 29, 1864) was a Canadian physician and geologist who invented kerosene. Although Ignacy Łukasiewicz developed the modern kerosene lamp, starting the world's oil industry, Gesner is considered a primary founder. Gesner was born in Cornwallis, Nova Scotia. He died in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
==Education==
Born to a well-established farming family in the Annapolis Valley, Pineo Gesner pursued a career at sea from a young age. Twice shipwrecked by his early twenties, Gesner returned to the family farm near Chipman Corner, northeast of Kentville. He married Harriet Webster, the daughter of Kentville's Dr. Isaac Webster in 1824, then went to London to study medicine at St Bartholomew's Hospital under Sir Astley Paston Cooper, then surgery at Guy's Hospital under John Abernethy.〔(Biography at the ''Dictionary of Canadian Biography Online'' )〕 While in London, he became interested in geology, making the acquaintance of Charles Lyell.〔(Abraham Gesner, Part One: A Father of Petroleum by Hans Durstling ) 〕
