The Voyageur and Other Poems

The Voyageur and Other Poems by William Henry Drummond is a collection of poems that celebrate the life and culture of the voyageurs, the French-Canadian fur traders who explored and mapped much of North America in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Drummond, who was born in Ireland but raised in Canada, was deeply fascinated by the voyageurs. He spent many years living among them and learning about their way of life. His poems capture the voyageurs' courage, their sense of adventure, and their deep love of the wilderness.

The Voyageur and Other Poems includes some of Drummond's most famous poems, such as ""The Voyageur"", ""The Habitant"", and ""The Wreck of the Julie Plante"". These poems are still widely read and enjoyed today, and they have helped to shape the popular image of the voyageur in Canadian culture.
