Notes
The most recent biography of Simcoe is by Marcus Van Steen, Gov. Simcoe and His Lady (1968); the most authoritative is by Judge Wm. R. Riddell, Life of John G. Simcoe (1926). This supersedes D. B. Read's Life and Times (1890) and D. Campbell Scott's J. G. Simcoe in the 'Makers of Canada' series. vol. iv. (new ed. 1926). Simcoe's Corresp. as governor was edited by Brig.-Gen. E. A. Cruickshank (1923) for the Ontario Hist. Soc. His Jnl. of the Operations of the Queen's Rangers privately printed at Exeter in 1787 was re-edited as Simcoe's Military Jnl. (New York) 1844. His wife's Diary was edited by J. Ross Robertson, Toronto 1911 and Mrs Simcoe's Diary by M. Q. Innis (1965).
