Lyons describes how the Irish youth went into the Canadian woods as a telegrapher to support his widowed mother & younger brothers. Later, Drummond resumed his education, took a medical degree & practised in the Eastern Townships of the province of Quebec before hanging out his shingle in Montreal. His flair for writing verses impressed May Isobel Harvey whom he married in 1894. At her urging, he published the best-seller that lauched his meteoric career, The Habitant and Other French-Canadian Poems." Check out the scans. . First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 8vo.
