MCINTYRE, James
Musings on the Banks on Canadian Thames
Ingersoll H. Rowland 1884, 128 p. 15 cm. Hardcover. Green cloth. Hinges tender, some scuffing on cover. Gilt edges. James McIntryre was an Ingersoll Ont. poet, widely renowned for his cheese poetry. This volume has many terrific local poems on Port Burwell, on the London Flood, and on the great fire of Ingersoll: 'The bell it rang, citizens to warn/ For lo! a fire appears in barn'. Rhodenizer calls McIntyre the "Dairy Poet". He lived 1827-1906, and came to Canada in 1841, living first at St. Catherines and then at Ingersoll. In later life he was an undertaker. His two books were Musings on the Bank of the Canadian Thames, and Poems, and he is imortalized in William Arthur deacon's The Four Jameses. Another classic: "Now for a minute, lend your luggs,/ Our theme, it is potato bugs."
