Charles Sangster was born in Kingston, Upper Canada (Ontario), in 1822. In 1849 he became editor of the Amherstburg Courier. From 1850 to 1861 he served as sub-editor of the Kingston Whig and was reporter on the Daily News in 1864. Sangster was also employed in the Post Office Department in Ottawa from 1868 to 1886. He contributed to the Literary Garland and published two books of verse The St.Lawrence and the Saguenay and Other Poems, (1856) and Hesperus and Other Poems and Lyrics (1860).
