Canada’s Governor General, John Buchan (known as Lord Tweedsmuir), passed into history on February 11, 1940. Two-days later, former US President Herbert Hoover took time to pay tribute to the late Governor General. “He was a very fine, very able man," Hoover, himself an accomplished author said. "He was really a very great writer and he came to the front on his intellectual merits."
