Hardback, [PU: Forgotten Books], Excerpt from Connecticut River Reeds: Blown by the "Peasant Bard" The greater part of his life was passed in the town of his birth, Gill, on the Connecticut River, a locality where Nature has done much to make beautiful the Surroundings of the rural homes clustered among the hills that margin the winding course of the river. Its quiet scenes of changing foliage and moving life in woods and field were a constant inspiration to him. His cares, pertaining to farm life, together with duties imposed by public trusts in town and county, were many, but with all he found time to jot down in poetic form thoughts which-came to him, colored and made beautiful by his intense love of Nature's work, never losing Sight of a Divine Power controlling all. The rugged and picturesque beauty of Mr. Canning's poetry has given it a place in the hearts of its readers, and is loved by the people who live along his much-loved river, as the poems of Whittier are loved by the people of the Merrimac Valley.
