Andre-Pierre Ledru (1761-1825) was a French priest and after the Revolution became a historian and later was appointed a professor of law. He also squeezed in a military career as a general and was wounded at the Battle of Jena (1806). In a two volume work published in 1810, Voyage aux îles de Ténériffe, la Trinité, St-Thomas, Ste-Croix et Porto-Rico, he voiced his support for the idea of Atlantis in the Atlantic.
