	Mair, Knowles - botanical collector
		Mair was able to identify photographs, sketch the layout of the Gardens, and contribute information for a display of typical Darwin suburban plantings of the 1930s.
		Mair was delighted at the acquisition of land for the Mt Tomah Botanic Garden, and his continuing interest even after retirement caused a later director, Carrick Chambers, to dub him the Godfather of Mt Tomah.
		Mair was greatly concerned about the condition of some of the glasshouses, and had planned and built the first big new pyramidal environment controlled glasshouse in the Gardens in 1970-71.

	Charles Mair
		Mair, Charles, was born at the village of Lanark, in the Bathurst district of Upper Canada, on the 21st September, 1840, and was educated at the Perth Grammar School and Qeeen’s College, Kingston.
		Mair was engaged in the study of medicine, but was called away from that study by the Honourable William McDougall to make researches in the Parliamentary Library, in reference to the question then pending about the transfer of the North-West territories to Canada.
		Mair published a volume of poems entitled "Dreamland and other poems," which was very well received by the press, but which had only a limited circulation, as a large portion of the edition was bunt in the Desbarat’s fire while being bound.

	Charles Mair
		Charles Mair and Isabella Valancy Crawford, whose best work was written in the early 80's of last century, were the first to raise the standard of Canadian poetry to greatness, and it is doubtful if their work has since been out-classed by that of any successors.
		Charles Mair, son of the late James Mair, a native of Scotland, one of the pioneers of the old square timber trade in the Ottawa valley, and Margaret (Holmes) Mair, was born in Lanark, Ontario, September, 1838.
		Mair was imprisoned by the rebels, and until he escaped, his life was in serious danger, but his greatest distress was caused by the loss of valuable manuscripts which he had taken with him to the West, to revise and prepare for publication, and which: his memory was unable to restore.

	February 13 - February 19
		Mair favoured a colony settled by Canadian and British immigrants, and was critical of the role of the Metis in the community.
		Mair didn't realise his letters were being published in the Globe, or that many people in the Red River were subscribers.
		Mair never changed his personal opinions, and was imprisoned by Louis Riel on the outbreak of the Rebellion a few months later.

	The Charles Mair Collection
		Charles Mair (1838 –; 1927) was a Canadian poet and one of the founders of the Canada First Party.
		For some time, Mair had been writing newspaper articles for eastern Canada about the conditions in the west, and was very critical of the Métis, which aroused their hostility.
		Mair’s daughter, Maude, married Bertram Crichton and came to live in Okanagon Mission.

	Charles Mair
		MAIR, Charles, Canadian poet, born in Lanark, Canada, 21 September.
		During the first northwestern rebellion in 1869 he was taken prisoner, and told by Louis Riel that he would be executed, but made his escape, and raised a force at Portage La Prairie, which marched to Fort Garry and forced Riel to surrender the other prisoners.
		Subsequently he returned to the northwest to recover his scattered manuscripts, but was unsuccessful, and, disheartened by the loss, he abandoned literature and entered into the fur-trade at Portage La Prairie, remaining there until 1876, when he removed to Prince Albert to conduct the same business.

	Mair - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In pre-feudal times a mair was an official who attended a sheriff for arrestment or executions (see sheriff court).
		Mair also has separate etymologies in the German language and Yiddish language (see German family name etymology and List of Jewish surnames), where it is a less common variant of a large family of surnames like Meyer, Meier, Maier etc (see m:de:Meier); and Sanskrit language, where it means brave.

	The Voice of the Burdash (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Shrive's chart of the path of Mair's literary career shows, again, that his major works were his first book of poems, Dreamland (1868), and Tecumseh (1886), and records the rise and decline of Mair's reputation.
		Shrive shows, too, that Mair's most passionate promoters - including, early and late, his fellow Canada Firster George T. Denison, and, later, the fatuous John W. Garvin - were interested less in the literary qualities of Mair's work than in his status as an early nationalist and a Canadian writer.
		Shrive's concluding sentence is apt: Mair `remains for us the best example we have of the confusing of national sentiment with literary merit, of the personal and artistic inability either to separate them or to combine them into one aesthetic unity.' That was, and is, a particularly Canadian confusion.

	Through the Mackenzie Basin by Albert Braz (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		In their introductions, David W. Leonard and Brian Calliou rightly laud the 1908 travelogue as one of the most perceptive documents on government-First Nations relations in what is now northern Alberta, specifically the Treaty Number 8 and Half-breed Scrip commissions of 1899, which transferred much of the Athabasca and Peace River countries to Ottawa.
		To quote Leonard, Mair's 'account has come to constitute the most detailed published source for the interpretation of these events, although obviously written by a decidedly government apologist.' However, both Leonard and Calliou ultimately seem unable to trust the text at hand because of the personality - and history - of its author.
		In addition to Mair's work, it includes the complete texts of Treaty Number 8 and several other official documents, a map of the territory ceded under the treaty, and a copy of J.L. Coté's French-language poem about the 1899 expedition - unfortunately, there is no English translation.

		Charles Cullen's case is both unusual and yet in keeping with historic precedence for nurses who kill.
		Charles Cullen may have murdered repeatedly, but more grueseome is the author's grisly butchering of the english language.
		Mair writes at a sixth-grade level, and either "edited" this book himself or had an equally inept editor.

	Collecting Canadiana Books - Early Canadiana Literature Online
		In poetry, a beginning was made by Charles Heavysege (1816-1876), a Montreal journalist whose Saul ran into three editions; by Charles Sangster (1822-1893), who published two volumes of poems and lyrics; and by D'Arcy McGee and Joseph Howe, both of whom combined poetry with politics and oratory.
		The pioneer of this group was Charles Mair (1840-1927), whose Dreamland and Other Poems was published in 1868.
		Mair was, as we have seen, one of the founders of the "Canada First" party; and many of his verses had a strong nationalist color.

		Charles had it timed so we would reach the reservoir at dawn, and that was when he broke out his bagful of oranges, apples, and bananas.

		Finally they were finished, or as finished as they were going to be, and I gave them to Charles Pachter.

	Paghat's Garden: Sarracenia leucophylla x willisii 'Dana's Delight'
		The Native American belief recorded by Charles Mair in his poem Tecumseh (as quoted above) states that to drink water from a pitcher-plant causes erotic dreams or, like water of the Lethe, forgetfulness.
		This doesn't strike me as entirely likely to be an authentic Indian belief if only because to drink captured water from a randomly encountered pitcher-plant would be pretty gross, considering that the pitcher will also be crammed with decayed or drowned ants & moths & other insects upon which pitcher-plants feed.
		So Mair's poem would seem to mix up some mythologies & might never have applied to Tecumseh the famed Shawnee warrior who fought against incursions of white immigrants in the late 1700s.
