Historian E.E. Rich claims that when Simpson entered the fur trade in 1820, he was an “utter novice” and “complete greenhorn.” But Simpson was no greenhorn, no novice. He had been in the company of Andrew Colvile since 1808 and had helped him in his capacity as Committee member. He knew personally the Earl of Selkirk and the other members of the Committee, and knew their tactical plans for victory in the Athabasca.
