An immigrant to Montreal from Ireland, Drummond graduated with an M.D. from McGill University in 1884 and started practising in the eastern townships (along the St. Lawrence River) to which his dialect poems so often refer.
Drummond's sentiments were welcomed by Louis Fréchette, a well-known French-Canadian poet, in an enthusiastic introduction to this book that closes: "le Canadian-français sent que c'est là l'expression d'une âme amie; et, à ce compte, je dois à l'auteur plus que mes bravos, je lui dois en même temps un chaleureux merci" (x).
Drummond went on to publish five more books of poetry, Phil-o-Rum's Canoe (1848), Johnnie Courteau (1901), The Voyager (1905), and The Great Fight (1908), and to become one of the most widely-read and loved poets of his nation.
