Excerpt from Masters of the Wilderness
The most insistent fact in history is the struggle between man and Nature, or between man and man with Nature for the prize.
Everywhere the puny human forces have dashed themselves with gallant idealism or reckless enthusiasm against the Obduracy of primeval things.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book tells a thrilling tale of the impact the Hudson Bay Company had on the fur trade and the settlement of Canada. The Company's history begins with its founding in 1670, when it was granted a monopoly over the fur trade in the vast territory surrounding Hudson Bay. The author traces the company's rise to power, its rivalry with the Northwest Company, and its eventual merger with its competitor in 1821. The book offers a remarkable look into the fur trade, the lives of the native peoples who depended on it, and the adventurers who sought to profit from it. The author also examines the broader historical context of the company's operations, including the European powers' search for a Northwest Passage to Asia and the settlement of the Canadian West.
