Harper's Encyclopedia of United States History (ed. Benson Lossing), Head, Sir Francis bond -1875 (search)
Head, Sir Francis bond -1875 Author; born near Rochester, England, Jan. 1, 1793; entered the engineer corps of the army and served in the campaigns under Wellington. In 1825 he explored the gold and silver mines in the Argentine Republic. Late in 1835 he was appointed governor of Upper Canada, where his injudicious measures caused an insurrection, in which American sympathizers with the people became involved. He kept the outbreak in check until his resignation in March, 1838. The same year he was created a baronet. He displayed much versatility as an author, and many of his works were republished in the United States. He died in Croydon, England, July 20, 1875.
