Sir Joseph Pope (1854-1926) was a Canadian civil servant and was the private secretary to Sir John A. Macdonald, Canada's first prime minister. He was born in Charlottetown, P.E.I., the son of William Henry Pope, one of the Fathers of Confederation. He moved to Ottawa and was appointed private secretary to Macdonald from 1882-1891. He was appointed as his literary executor. In 1896 he was appointed under-secretary of state for Canada and served in the role for 30 years, completing several important ambassadorial roles for the government. He wrote several books on Canadian history including a biography of Sir John A. Macdonald which we host here at Faded Page. (Macmillan Dictionary of Canadian Biography)
