William Francis Ganong était un botaniste et historien canadien qui a apporté une contribution significative à la compréhension historique et géographique de sa province natale du Nouveau-Brunswick. Sa carrière professionnelle s'est concentrée sur la botanique, en tant que professeur au Smith College. Cependant, dans sa vie privée, il s'est consacré profondément à l'étude de l'histoire et à la cartographie de sa patrie, créant souvent ses propres cartes de ses explorations. Son intérêt de toute une vie pour la nature et les langues, y compris la connaissance des langues autochtones, a enrichi ses recherches.
