History
Charles Sangster was born at Navy Bay, Kingston, Upper Canada in 1822. He served with the loyalist forces in the MacKenzie uprising in 1837. He developed a taste for writing in his early twenties and became editor of a small newspaper, "The Courier", in Amherstburg. He returned to Kingston, became a sub-editor of the "British Whig", and later a reporter on the "Daily News". He early turned to poetry and published verse in such journals as the "Literary Garland", Barker's "Canadian Monthly Magazine", and "The Anglo-American Magazine". In 1856, his first book of poetrry, "The St. Lawrence and The Saguenay and Other Poems", was issued simultaneously in Kingston and New York. Four years later, another volume appeared entitled "Hesperus and Other Poems and Lyrics". He died in 1893 at Kingston, Ontario.
