    I just happen to be reading "Company of Adventurers" Vol 1 by Peter C.
Newman. On page 6-7 it says in part...."Nearly all the great names in the
HBC's annals grew up in Scotland; not just Sir George Simpson, Donald Smith
and Sir James Douglas..... others Chief Factor Robert Campbell. This is not
