		The first lieutenant governor of Upper Canada, John Graves Simcoe, was a career soldier and former member of the British Parliament.

		The morale of the Upper Canadians, which was low at the onset of the war, was raised and hardened by success in the field and by the vigorous leadership of British commanders, especially Sir Isaac Brock.

	John Graves Simcoe - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		JOHN GRAVES SIMCOE (1752-1806), British soldier and first lieutenant-governor of Upper Canada, was born at Cotterstock, Northumberland, England, on the 25th of February 1752.
		In 1790 he was elected member of parliament for St Mawes in Cornwall, and at the close of his first session was appointed lieutenant-governor of the new province of Upper Canada created under the Constitutional Act of 1791.
		Thus, while his administration was characterized by the most disinterested devotion to what he conceived to be for the best interests of the province, it was rendered ineffective by the impracticable character of his projects and the friction which developed between himself and Lord Dorchester, the governorgeneral.

	Book Reviews - Assisting Emigration to Upper Canada: The Petworth Project, 1832-1837.
		Egremont, Sockett, and Sir John Colborne (Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada) were Tory paternalists who supported government assisted emigration and settlement for humanitarian reasons because they believed it would solve the problem of rural social unrest by removing the unemployed poor from the local English parishes and giving them a new start in Canada.
		The new political ideas which were current in England and in Upper Canada help to explain why the Petworth Project did not continue and why there was no large scale government assisted emigration and settlement in the years that followed.
		Assisting Emigration to Upper Canada is a significant contribution to the study of nineteenth century Canada and will mainly be read by historians and used in university level studies.

	Hansard Issue: L088
		As well, we recognize that Upper Canada only had a population of 10,000, mainly in the Bay of Quinte area, and needed settlers to foster the immigration of thousands of United Empire Loyalists from what is now the United States by ensuring that land was distributed to prospective farmers, cheaply and expeditiously.
		Lieutenant Governor Simcoe also established Dundas Street, the road, again, from the head of Lake Ontario to London, designed at that time as a military road.
		Though some of his many projects were never realized, Simcoe's tenure as our Lieutenant Governor of the day is universally regarded as a success.

		In 1814 he was appointed lieutenant governor of British Honduras, holding at the same time the rank of colonel on the staff, thus exercising the military command as well as the civil government.

		The union of Upper and Lower Canada took place in 1841, Lord Sydenham being the first governor-general, and at his request Sir George Arthur continued for a time to conduct the administration of Upper Canada as deputy governor, it being specially stipulated by him that he would receive no remuneration for his services.

	Lieutenant governor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Canada, the lieutenant-governor (sometimes without a hyphen, pronounced /lɛfˈtɛ.nənt/), in French lieutenant-gouverneur (always with a hyphen), is the Queen's, or Crown, representative in a province, much as the Governor General is her representative at the national level.
		The procedure for election of Lieutenant Governor varies from state to state with 24 states having the Governor and Lieutenant Governor elected as running mates on a joint ticket (for example in New York, Maryland, Ohio and Kansas), while in 18 states, the Governor and the Lieutenant Governor run separately.
		The latter can cause the Governor and Lieutenant Governor to be from different parties and bitter political rivals (such as is often the case in California, Rhode Island, Virginia and Alabama).

	Emigrant and the Noble Savage: Sir Francis Bond Head's Romantic Approach to Aboriginal Policy in Upper Canada, ...
		Sir Francis Bond Head (1793-1875) was a respected man of letters and the Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada from January 1836 until March 1838.
		During his brief stay in Upper Canada, Head earned a reputation for political ineptitude; clearly, he was more skilled as a literary man than as a politician.
		By examining The Emigrant (1846), Head's autobiographical memoir of his experiences as lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada, as well as related literary and historical documents, this essay will demonstrate the extent to which Head's literary and governmental philosophies were indeed intertwined.
