Born in Scotland and trained as a sugar broker in England, Sir George Simpson was appointed as governor of Rupert's Land and the Indian territories in 1820. By his friendliness, strict discipline, and vigorous and constant travel, he brought peace and prosperity to the vast empire under his control.

Pressestimmen
"Lahey's passion for his subject is obvious, and his decision to draw upon Simpson's own writings and those of his contemporaries to give voice and historical credibility to the biography is admirable. He makes a compelling argument for the study of Simpson as one of the Makers of Canada." -- CM Magazine "Lahey uses Simpsons extensive letters and journals to recreate his life, and discover more about Simpsons character." -- Resource Links, 20110601
