It is certainly to be recommended if only to find out about Simpson's remarkable expenditure of energy used in running the HBC for as long as he did. However, the book also disappoints as it is neither a full autobiography, you are left feeling oddly disconnected from the man, nor is it a complete history of how the man ran the HBC. Nevertheless it is worthwhile reading for anyone interested in Canadian history.
