Excerpt from Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections, Vol. 99

Paul Kane was born September 3, 1810. Some accounts assert that he was a native Of Mallow, County Cork, Ireland; others say he was born in Canada after his parents had arrived in their new home. However that may be, the date is not questioned. He died at his home in Toronto, February 20, 1871. A notice in the Toronto Globe, 2 days after his death, referred to him as an old resident of the city of Toronto, and one Of our pioneers.

Where or under whom Kane may have studied drawing or painting is not known, but it is thought he painted in Toronto and Cobourg until the year 1835, and about that time came to the United States, where he remained 5 or 6 years. Thence he went to Europe and studied in England and on the continent, and returned to Toronto early in 1845. Soon after his return from Europe, later in the same year, he again continued his wanderings, this time into the Indian country to the westward. Kane's only publication, Wanderings of an Artist among the Indians of North America, is a record Of his travels among the Indians and was published in London, England, 1859. It is a work of much interest. Another book was contem plated, but failing eyesight made it impossible for him to continue writing and painting.
