Talk:John Thomas Simpson

Is this John Thomas Simpson really the author of "Hidden Treasure?""
In the preface to "Hidden Treasure", the author writes of a farm in Pennsylvania where he had lived for a number of years, but the Simpson on this page was born and raised in Canada. In addition, all of the 16 acknowledgments in the book name places in the United States. John Thomas Simpson is not a rare name; could we be confusing the politician with the author?
