Publisher Description: 1904. And with Illustrations by Frederick Simpson Coburn. Drummond was a Canadian poet born in Ireland. For several years he worked and practiced medicine in frontier Canadian communities. There he came to know the French Canadians, whom he celebrated in his best poems, using their dialect of English. The popularity of The Habitant and other French-Canadian Poems brought the poet fame, and a substantial income in royalties. |
