Adventurers: Hudson’s Bay Company, The Epic Story

It was called ‘the Company of Adventurers’ and its empire once spanned a twelfth of the space of the earth. Here, award-winning historian Christopher Moore vividly recalls the story of this remarkable company – from the first voyage of the sailing Nonsuch in 1668 to creation of Hudson’s Bay Company posts that grew into the department stores of today. Along the way we experience the hardy lives of trappers and traders, the bitter rivalry of the Baymen and the Nor’Westers, the struggles of the Selkirk settlers and the building of the Canada Pacific Railway. The cast of characters ranges from English lords to voyageurs, from mapmakers to railroad barons. Generously illustrated with maps, diagrams, paintings, and modern color photographs, Adventurers vividly recreates the saga of the company whose history is the story of Canada. he adventurer 1660-1720 — The long struggle with Montreal 1713-1821 — Give us good measure 1821-1870 — Becoming a business 1870-2000
