Adolphe de Chesnel
Pierre-François-Adolphe de Chesnel (born in Paris in 1791, died in 1862) begins his career in the army. It leaves it about 1820 with a retirement of lieutenant-colonel of infantry and settles in midday when it launches to Montpellier a transitory newspaper, the Conciliator of the South , literary, commercial, agricultural collection.
It seems to be divided between the poetry and the observations of an idle naturalist until the publication of the Usages, habits and superstitions of the inhabitants of the Black Mountain (1839) then Coutumes, myths and traditions of the provinces of France (1846).
