Tecumseh, A Drama and Canadian Poems is a literary work by Charles Mair that combines a dramatic play and a collection of poems about Canada. The main focus of the book is on Tecumseh, a Native American leader who fought against the American forces during the War of 1812. The play explores Tecumseh's life and his struggle to unite the indigenous tribes against the encroachment of white settlers. The poems in the book celebrate the natural beauty and cultural diversity of Canada, touching on themes of patriotism, history, and identity. Mair's writing style is marked by vivid imagery, emotional intensity, and a strong sense of national pride. Overall, Tecumseh, A Drama and Canadian Poems is a powerful tribute to the resilience and spirit of the Canadian people.1926. Contains Dreamland and other Poems, The American Bison, Through the Mackenzie Basin, Memoirs and Reminiscences. From the cover: Few men were so closely associated with the later history of the West as Charles Mair. He served in both campaigns against Riel. During the first uprising he was captured, condemned to death, and escaped. He was secretary to the Scrip Commission that went into the Mackenzie Basin in 1899 to treat with the Indians for a tract of territory, and his narrative of this Expedition had a distinct influence in attracting settlers to the Athabasca and Peace River Districts. The treatise on the Bison in North American read before the Royal Society of Canada is one of the most valuable contributions to the study of these almost extinct animals. Mair is considered by many to be the greatest Poet of Canada.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
