First Edition. Sir George Simpson, Governor-in-Chief of the Hudson's Bay Territories in North America from 1821 to 1856, was highly influential in revitalizing the company's operations and gave great encouragement to the geographical exploration of its territories, particularly the arctic and barren lands. In 1841-42, he undertook an overland journey around the world, claiming to be the first traveller to complete the trip. This account of that journey, during which he passed through the Red River Settlement, Edmonton, Fort Vancouver, Sitka, Vancouver Island, San Francisco, the Hawaiian Islands, and across Siberia and Russia, was, according to Gagnon, prepared by Adam Thom from Simpson's notes.
