for history project... just felt like posting it here lol!
The "Little Emperor" was George Simpson:
George Simpson was born c. 1787 in Lochbroom, Scotland. He was was a Scots-Quebecer and employee of the Hudson's Bay Company. He was Governor-in-Chief of Rupert's Land and the Indian Territories in British North America, what they used to call Canada from 1821 to 1860. He wasn’t like any other people who works at the HBC, he was a responsible person who checks on the company at random times in surprises of the other employees, this way is proofed more effect time to seek out lazy workers who slake off and off other thins they do that are un productive in business.
Simpson married Geddes Mackenzie Simpson's daughter. Frances Ramsay Simpson, in 1830, by whom he had five children: George Geddes, Frances Webster, Augusta D'Este, Margaret Mackenzie, and John Henry Pelly. By other unions he had seven more children: Maria Louisa, Isabella, Maria, James Keith, George Stewart, and John Mackenzie. Descendants of these children have distinguished themselves in Canada in the fields of the fur trade, agriculture, medicine, politics, and the military.
He died in Montreal in 1860 and was buried at The Mount Royal Cemetery.
