Biography:

TAYLOR, Samuel W. (fl 1829)

No other publications are attributed to this author but his one long historical poem, The Storming of Quebec, published in Philadelphia and lamenting the American loss at Quebec in 1775, is a sophisticated composition with vivid battleground scenes and shifting points of view. (There are also a few pages of Notes to the poem, and several minor pieces attached to it.) Taylor must have written more but no trace has yet been found of his works or of his private life.
