In a Works Progress Administration (WPA) "Biography of Rosalie Richard" given by herself and recorded by Minnie M. Cochrane in October 1937, Rosalie discussed the life of her great uncle Felix Poutre. She states that Mrs. Dominick Richard has a book which was owned by her husband (brother of Rosalie) describing a book written by Felix Poutre. "This book was written in French by Felix Poutre in 1884. Published by Beauchemin and Valvis of Montreal. It is entitled " Memories of a Prisoner of the Canadian State", in 1838. The copy owned by Mrs. Richard is the second edition.
The book tells of how Felix Poutre, working as he felt for the rights of his people (The French Canadians) "swore men in, to fight against the Queen" (Victoria of England) and was sentenced to death. Before he was captured he hid for three weeks in a hollow tree. His brother (Rosalie Richard's grandfather) carried food to him at night. In trying to cross the line into the United States, Felix Poutre was captured, taken to Montreal, tried, and sentenced to death. In order "to escape the death sentence, he played the fool, turning everything upside down in the jail" pretending to be insane. Different doctors examined him but as he was a large, strong man, and handled them roughly, they became afraid of him and finally put him outside the jail. Too smart to try to escape, he took off his boots, and carrying them on a cane, walked barefoot in the snow around and around the jail apparently trying to get back in. When night came he slipped away across the border into the United States. The book contains some quaint illustrations of his adventures.
Besides writing the book, Felix Poutre dramatized it and with a group of players, presented it in various towns in the United States. When Rosalie Richard lived in Fall River, Mass, the play was put on there and she remembers Mr. Poutre being entertained at her father's home. He was tall, over six feet, distinguished looking and always wore a high silk hat and caped overcoat.
