Topic: George Webber


  
  Dictionary of Canadian Biography Online
      George Webber was probably born at Harbour Grace, Nfld, apparently in the second decade of the 19th century since he writes of himself in 1851 as being at “life’s meridian,” presumably half-way through the proverbial three score years and ten.
Webber presents an imaginary account of the last days of the Beothuks, the Newfoundland Indians who were annihilated, apparently by tuberculosis and white hunting parties.
His interpretation of the Mary March incident is central: the authorities offered a reward for the capture of a Beothuk through whom they could then communicate with the Indians and in 1819 a white hunting party led by John Peyton* seized Mary March from a group which included her baby.

 George Webber's "The Last of the Aborigines" Introduced by E.J. Devereux
For Webber’s poem about the killing of the Beothuks, though affected by the then current theme, is written with genuine emotion by a Newfoundlander who had travelled the coast seeking real information about them, and so was able to control his imaginative depiction of their ending within a structure of adapted fact.
Significantly for Webber’s purposes the only white man present was ‘too much intimidated to interfere’ and what looked like an attempt by the Beothuks later to return the child was frustrated by the needless killing of their messenger.
It is then around three or four episodes, marked by a disciplined fearlessness in defence of women and children sharply contrasted to the cowardice of armed whites, that Webber builds his heroic poem, with an imaginative extension through what he could learn of the Beothuk’s way of life, of the most admired of Victorian virtues.
