[Roger Thomas · Rating 4 out of 5]

An excellent biography of the first administrator of the Canada Company in Canada and the man who started the settlement of the Huron Tract. He was in conflict with the family compact in Canada and with his superiors in England who were arrogant a d knew everything although they had never been to Canada.
