Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the political landscape of Upper Canada during a pivotal period in its early development. The author meticulously presents a collection of letters, memoranda, and official documents, shedding light on the administration of Lieutenant Governor John Graves Simcoe.
