Buchan was appointed Governor General of Canada in February 1935 and took office in November of that year. At this time, he was given the title 1st Baron Tweedsmuir.

He died on February 11, 1940, the first Canadian Governor General since Confederation to die in office. A year after Tweedsmuir's death, King continued to think of him as being, with Norman Rogers and O.D. Skelton, one of "the three men who spiritually were closer to me than any other."

Updated - Sunday, 2 September, 2001 John Buchan (1875-1940), statesman, publisher, journalist, biographer, poet and novelist, was born on 26 August 1875 in Perth, Scotland. Educated at Hutcheson's Grammar School and Glasgow University, Buchan had already begun his extensive publishing career by the time he won a scholarship to Brasenose College, Oxford, where he won the Newdigate Prize for poetry in 1898. During his time at Oxford Buchan, a workaholic, published five books and numerous articles, partly to raise funds in order to continue his studies. Despite his training as a lawyer (a profession he would later assign to the fictional character he created most in his own mould, Sir Edward Leithen), Buchan travelled to South Africa in 1901 to become Lord Milner’s private secretary (the High Commissioner) in the immediate aftermath of the Boer War. Sir Quixote of the Moors , was published in 1895. Whilst recovering from illness in the early part of 1914 Buchan wrote his most famous work, The Thirty-Nine Steps , which was serialised in Blackwood’s Magazine from July of that year. With its plot of German espionage it was highly topical and was an instant hit; never out of print it remains popular today, and has twice been produced for the cinema, including the 1935 Hitchcock version (whose plot revisions Buchan considered an improvement on his book).

John Buchan Buchan was born on 26th August 1875 in Perth, son of a Free Church of Scotland minister, later domiciled in Glasgow and Peebles. Like his sister Anna (1877-1948) the popular novelist "0. Douglas", he was educated at Hutcheson's Grammar School, Glasgow. At Glasgow University Buchan produced an anthology of Bacon 's essays, and a novel deriving from Conan Doyle 's recent Brigadier Gerard stories, blended with the Borders and their Covenant legends he knew so well, Sir Quixote of the moors . Thence he went to Oxford which made him take another first degree as though Glasgow could not award one. Buchan's acquiescence in this dishonour to his country of origin, and the first laurels it had given him, symbolised the dilemma of his literary life. The English establishment received his deference and gave him rewards, but Scotland provided both his richest sources and his bedrock of reassurance. His devotion to Scott and Stevenson would repay itself with historical novels such as John Burnet of Barns (1898), and

He was very popular in his Canadian service, travelling all over the country to meet the people and see the land, Arctic to US border, east to west, and made important political links with President Roosevelt of the United States. He died of a brain haemorrhage while shaving, shortly after signing Canada's entry into the Second World War. And he wrote. By golly did he write.

36. John Buchan John Buchan (18751940). John Buchan, first Baron Tweedsmuir of Elsfield,statesman, author and publisher, initially earned the respect http://www.sun.ac.za/mil/mil_history/historians_buchan.htm

John Buchan John Buchan, first Baron Tweedsmuir of Elsfield, statesman, author and publisher, initially earned the respect of generals Louis Botha and Jan Smuts when, as a member of Milner's Kindergarten, he was responsible for the resettlement of the Boers after the Peace of Vereeniging. During the First World War, he served on the Headquarters Staff of the British Army in France and later as Director of Intelligence. He represented the Scottish Universities in Parliament before being raised to the peerage and posted to Canada as governor general in 1935. John Buchan was a most prolific writer with more than fifty titles to his name. These included adventure stories, several biographies, articles and reviews for magazines and newspapers, and an autobiography, Memory-hold-the-door, which appeared in 1940. However, Buchan's multifarious writings brought him under attack. Lloyd George, the British prime minister, recorded in his memoirs: These comments (which, in Liddell Hart's view, were `needlessly sharp') cannot be applied to the History of the South African Forces in France. In this case, Buchan went to great lengths to consult the primary sources. Most of the records generated by the South African Brigade were still in France; and to these Buchan had full access. Many of these archival sources have not been used by subsequent historians, with the result that Buchan's work remains the best documented study on this topic. This has perhaps inevitably targeted his work, causing many modern historians to quote freely and even dishonestly from it. Despite even recent attempts, Buchan's contribution remains the standard reference work on the South African brigade on the Western Front. It is well-researched and equally well-written; and after seventy-five years it is still unsupplanted.

John Buchan (1875-1940) John Buchan was born at the manse in York Place, Perth, Scotland on 26 August 1875, the son of a Free Church of Scotland minister. Clan Buchan has a long history in Scotland. He was educated at Hutcheson's Grammar School and the University of Glasgow, and had already begun to write when he won a scholarship to Brasenose College, Oxford, from where he took a First in Greats in 1899. Between 1901 and 1903 Buchan worked on the High Commissioner's staff in South Africa; after returning to Britain he pursued several careers, including journalism. In 1907, he married Susan Grosvenor. It was a happy marriage resulting in one daughter and three sons. He was Member of Parliament for the Scottish Universities from 1927 to 1935, when he was appointed Governor-General of Canada. He became Baron Tweedsmuir of Elsfield in 1935 and the thirty fifth Governor General of Canada.

The hero discovers a conspiracy to end civilisation and sets out single-handed to frustrate it. The pleasure of Buchan is the magnificently described wild countryside he sets his stories in (usually the Scottish Highlands or the plains of South Africa).
