Dec. 21, 1873 in Hanoï) Wikipedia, viewed 31 Jan. 2020 (Marie Joseph François Garnier (25 July 1839 - 21 December 1873) was a French officer, Inspector of Indigenous Affairs of Cochinchina and explorer. He eventually became mission leader of the Mekong Exploration Commission in 19th century Southeast Asia. Garnier's chief fame rests on the fact that he both conceived the idea of exploring the Mekong and carried out the larger portion of the work. During the French colonial period he was also honoured for his feats of arms in Tonkin, which paved the way for the eventual French conquest of Tonkin in the 1880s.) |
