Ioannes Hector Sanctus Ioannes de Crèvecœur

Ioannes Hector Sanctus Ioannes de Crèvecœur (Francogallice Michel Guillaume Jean de Crèvecœur, natus Cadomi in Normannia provincia Franciae 31 Decembris 1735; mortuus Sarcelles in suburbio Lutetiae 12 Novembris 1813) fuit scriptor Franco-Americanus, Comitis et Comitissae de Crèvecœur filius.

Bello Franco-Indiano agrimensor militavit. Exercitu autem Francico victo, in Provincia Novum Eboracum anno 1759 immigravit, ubi civis Americanus nomen in John Hector St. John mutavit, annoque 1770 Mehtable Tippet uxorem duxit. Fundum in Comitatu Orange emit et agricola floruit. De cultura coloniarum initiisque societatis Americanae scribere coepit.

Londinii anno 1782 unum commentariorum narrativorum volumen protulit, quod appellavit Letters from an American Farmer (Epistolae ex Agricola Americano), propter quem librum, statim factum prima litterarum res prosperae auctoris Americani in Europa, Crèvecœur clarissimus factus est. Primis colonis Americanis sententiam "Ubi panis ibi patria" insigniter adhibuit. Ex eo appellatur St. Johnsbury, oppidum in Monte Viride, Ethan Allen suadente.
