Notes 1 |
"Còmhradh eadar am Bàrd agus an Còirneal Friseal" |
Notes 2 |
"The above poem was composed after the poet had come to be somewhat satisfied with this country. It does not contain a word of exaggeration. The first settlers in Nova Scotia endured much hardship. Simon Fraser, sometimes called Major Fraser and sometimes Colonel Fraser was a son of Captain John Fraser of the 82nd regiment. He was for sometime engaged in bringing out passengers to this country. It was with him the poet came." |
