A very good copy in original condition untrimmed. Kidd emigrated to Canada from Ireland at a young age and after being rejected for the priesthood he began publishing poetry. The epic main poem consumes over half the text with nearly forty shorter poems comprising the rest. Kidd claims that he travelled extensively among the Indians of Upper Canada and his poetry carries great sympathy for native peoples and their exploitation at the hands of European settlers. He writes that the "Huron Chief" was composed "on the inner rind of birch bark during my travels through the immense forests of America and under many difficulties and privations." He also claims that the poems would soon be published in native languages. SABIN 37700. TPL 1585. Printed at the Office of the Herald and New Gazette hardcover books
