The Emigrant by Standish O'Grady
|
| Abstract |
The Irish-born poet Standish O'Grady (b. 1789 or 1790) immigrated to Lower Canada in 1836 and took-up farming Sorel. The DCB notes that O'Grady was: "Unaccustomed to hard physical work, unprepared for the severity of the Lower Canadian winter, and unable to cultivate a soil that was 'a perfect compilation of sand not worth the labouring,' he did not succeed as a farmer. O’Grady provides details about his life as a Lower Canadian farmer in the lines and notes of his poem The Emigrant, A Poem, in Four Cantos," published in 1841. That year, O'Grady also moved to Montreal, but by 1845 he had moved to Upper Canada.
