I am doing a biography on John Graves Simcoe, the first lieutenant governor of Ontario. Does anyone know of any good sites about him? Perhaps some little known but INTERESTING facts? I have searched on Yahoo! but, there is the same thing over, and over again. This is due by the end of April, so please answer soon.

John Graves Simcoe (February 25, 1752 – October 26, 1806) was the first lieutenant governor of Upper Canada (modern-day southern Ontario plus the shoreline of Georgian Bay and Lake Superior) from 1791-1796. He founded York (now Toronto) and was instrumental in introducing British institutions such as the courts, trial by jury, English common law, freehold land tenure, and for abolishing slavery in Upper Canada long before it was abolished in the British Empire as a whole (it had disappeared from Upper Canada by 1810, but wasn't abolished throughout the Empire until 1834).

They have a website, but the archives don't seem to have that name in them.  You could try searching the site for others relevant words or call/e-mail the newspaper for the copy.  The local library should also have it, but you'd have to make a photocopy.

I love that mini-series. I watch at least once a year. Lt. Dike was a horrible leader...I think the name, "Foxhole Norman" means that he commanded his troops from a safe distance. He never was around to really lead and certainly not to support his men. I wonder how many lives would've been saved if Lipman was in charge from the git go.

Where do you get your information that the settlers were stealing from Indian graves?  And if this is true, you're putting way to bad of a slant on it.  The settlers of Massachusetts were a very religious group that would just steal unless it was a matter of survival more than likely.  What would you do for your family in a life and death situation?  Don't taint our country's history by making the settlers at Plymouth sound like a group of selfish and careless people.  Their first winter was very difficult, and they had to learn how to live all over again.  As for teaching this to elementary students, I think they would be a little young to understand the whole truth.  An older group of students would be able to grasp the details better and know that nothing was malicious in their acts, whatever their acts may have been.  Regardless of the truth, it should be told.  The truth shouldn't be twisted, but made to be understood.  Obviously there are adults out there that can't grasp the meaning behind some things either.

My husband and his buddy's have a cabin they go up to in the chain of lakes that they fish for Muskie. They about every year now have pulled each others resources and go, but they have to travel by boat part of the way to get up there through, to their cabin site. I have never made to trip with them yet, and I don't even know if they would want me to. I guess the mosquito's are out of this world up there. I hope that this was helpful to you, and all I have seen are the pictures. It really looks beautiful though. One of them His friend, "Joe", caught a 69 lb Muskie once, and they put him in the magazine.

I have heard of it. I live in Pennsylvania.\n\nI always thought that the Hatfields and McCoys were the real names of the Capulet and the Montague families...LOL\n\n*NOTE*\nIf you actually understand the Shakespearean reference in my answer, you are probably WAY TOO SMART to be hanging around Yahoo! Answers.\n\nIf you are now wondering what the hell I am talking about...keep clicking away here at Yahoo...hoping that some day your thousands of Yahoo! points will actually be worth something!!!
