• Summary:Painter born on September 3, 1810, at Mallow, Ireland; died on February 20, 1871, at Toronto, Ont. Kane is the best known of all Canada's artist explorers. He was enspired by George Catlin. As early as October 1848 Kane planned a book describing his trips of 1845 1848, based on the notes and diaries he kept en route. In the 1850s he began writing Wanderings of an artist among the Indians of North America. Although some chapters were delivered before the Canadian Institute in 1855, published in its annual proceedings, and republished in the Daily Colonist, the publication of the complete volume was long delayed. Finally, a visit by Kane to England in 1858 and, simultaneously, pressure from influential persons, presumably Simpson and his associates of the HBC, resulted in the publication of the volume in 1859. A pirated French edition appeared in 1861, and, in 1863, a Danish edition.
