Isaac McLellan (1806–1899)

McLellan, Isaac. An American poet; born in Portland, ME, May 21, 1806; died at Greenport, Long Island, Aug. 20, 1899. His love for outdoor sports was so intense, and his poems on these themes so numerous, that they won him the title of “the poet sportsman.” His early poems, ‘The Death of Napoleon’ and ‘New England’s Dead’ are well known. He is also the author of ‘The Fall of the Indian’ (1830); ‘Mount Auburn’ (1843); and ‘Poems of the Rod and Gun’ (1886).
