Kane Paul 1810-1871 Born In Toronto Received His First Training
under Drury, the drawing-master at Upper Canada College. Spent the years
1836-1840 in the United States; and then sailed for Europe, where he
studied art in Italy and throughout the continent. Returned to Toronto
in 1845, and shortly after set out on a tour of the western territories
of the Hudson's Bay Company. Visited many of the tribes, from Lake
Superior to the Pacific, and brought back with him in 1848 several
hundred sketches, from which he painted a series of oil pictures of
Indian life and western scenery. Some years after, published a narrative
of this journey, illustrated from his own sketches. =Bib.=: Wanderings
