French Louie
Louis Seymour, known as "French Louie" or "Adirondack French Louie" was an Adirondack guide, trapper, woodsman and hermit who died in 1915. His age was unknown but his death certificate said he was 84. He was born near Ottawa Canada, sometime around 1832. French Louie is mentioned in virtually every book written about the South-Central Adirondacks. A lot of what is known of him is from the oral tradition, but Harvey Dunham wrote a biography in 1953.
== Early life ==
Louis Seymour was born on a small farm near Dog River North of Ottawa, Canada. As a young boy he was able to do the work of a man, removing stumps, clearing brush etc. It's not known how many brothers and sisters he had, but Harvy L. Dunham described it as "many". After his mothers' death, his step mother was mean. He ran away from home and joined a circus. Louie crossed into the United States and joined another circus, and after an undetermined amount of time, at the age of twelve, he took a job on the Erie Canal as a driver, for $8 per month. During the many hours walking behind the mules, he would daydream about living in the woods, and how to set trap lines.
