His novel, ''Argimou: A Legend of the Micmac'', was serialized in ''Amaranth'' in 1842 and was first published in book form in 1847. In the late 1840s he moved to England, where he published a three-volume novel, ''Nomades of the West; or, Ellen Clayton'' (1850), and then immigrated to Australia on the Lady Peel in 1852.〔''Dictionary of Literary Biography'', Volume 99: Canadian Writers Before 1890.
