Why Is Antoine Vacher Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Antoine Vacher was a French geographer, mainly interested in physical geography, and particularly in hydrography. Early years Antoine Vacher was the brilliant son of a family of tailors from Montluçon, Allier. His paternal grandfather was a farmer in the Allier, while his maternal grandfather was a craftsman. His father experienced serious financial difficulties and had to go into debt to save his small business. Antoine Vacher was an honorary scholar at the Lycée de Lyon , and a scholar at the Lycée Henri-IV in Paris . He studied at the École Normale Supérieure . While at the ENS he had to work in various casual jobs during the summer holidays to help repay the family loans. He was a student of Paul Vidal de La Blache, but in his doctorate wrote almost exclusively about physical geography, and ignored human geography. Vacher's fieldwork was mostly concerned with valley forms and measurements of river flows, but he also read widely on oceanography, and wrote on that subject in the Annales de Géographie.
