From The Star November 30th, 1921: "Lord Mount Stephen, one of the builders of Canada is dead. His career was one of the most striking and romantic in Canadian history".

We are indebted to him for the construction of the Canadian Railway. As well as being the country's biggest financier, Lord Mount Stephen was also equally passionate about sports. He rented the Causapscal and Matapedia rivers from the government to compliment the land he purchased from David O'Reilly. Lord Mount Stephen's summers were spent in Causapscal fishing salmon with his friends. He later sold his property to the Ristigouche Salmon Fishing Club.

"Causapscal, similarly to the rest of the valley, was a huge forest inhabited only by wild animals. Although the colonization of the New World had just begun this vast area had attracted the attention of the country's first governors. As far back as the seventeenth century Frontenac had given Charles Joseph D'Amours de Louviers a territory in Lake Matapedia. No settlers would arrive to live on that land until 1833" From Lambert Closse's 1928 book Un site enchanteur de la VallÎe de la Matapedia, Causapscal.
