Ebook About NATIONAL BESTSELLERA thrilling new telling of the story of modern Canada's origins.The story of the Hudson's Bay Company, dramatic and adventurous and complex, is the story of modern Canada's creation. And yet it hasn't been told in a book for over thirty years, and never in such depth and vivid detail as in Stephen R. Bown's exciting new telling. The Company started out small in 1670, trading practical manufactured goods for furs with the Indigenous inhabitants of inland subarctic Canada. Controlled by a handful of English aristocrats, it expanded into a powerful political force that ruled the lives of many thousands of people--from the lowlands south and west of Hudson Bay, to the tundra, the great plains, the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific northwest. It transformed the culture and economy of many Indigenous groups and ended up as the most important political and economic force in northern and western North America.When the Company was faced with competition from French traders in the 1780s, the result was a bloody corporate battle, the coming of Governor George Simpson--one of the greatest villains in Canadian history--and the Company assuming political control and ruthless dominance. By the time its monopoly was rescinded after two hundred years, the Hudson's Bay Company had reworked the entire northern North American world.Stephen R. Bown has a scholar's profound knowledge and understanding of the Company's history, but wears his learning lightly in a narrative as compelling, and rich in well-drawn characters, as a page-turning novel.Book The Company: The Rise and Fall of the Hudson's Bay Empire Review :
Author Stephen Bown must be congratulated for putting together this magnificent volume on the Canadian fur trading experiences of the Hudson's Bay empire. I can't help but give the book five stars even though I found parts of it near the end laborious. I have to admit to becoming tired and wanting the book to end so I could get on to something else.One has to admire the punishment these individuals took in the one month crossing of the Atlantic Ocean from Europe to trade manufactured goods with indigenous people in the Hudson Bay area in exchange for beaver furs to bring back to Europe to be made into hats and other clothing. The articles the indigenous people received made their work easier in not having to use animal bones, etc. to serve their needs. I didn't realize forts had been built along the shores of Hudson Bay and what a miserable life it had to be to be spending winters in the Canadian wilderness. A map of Hudson Bay and the location of the forts was beneficial. I would have preferred if measurements were given in miles rather than kilometers.Relations between the Europeans and indigenous people took the form of marriage of sorts in which men would often tire of their present wife and move on to someone else. Europeans often brought diseases such as smallpox which wiped out the lives of many. Mosquitoes and sand flies were a serious problem during the summer month with bitter winds and cold during the winter. I knew that Dr. Marcus and Narcissa Whitman ventured into what is now the northeastern United States to minister to the native inhabitants. However I didn't know the details as when Dr. Whitman had a bottle of medicine he was administering to someone it was thought he was poisoning the sick individuals and he and his wife were both killed.There is a lot to learn in this book and I know I missed more than I learned but reading about this difficult way of life is best learned from the comfort of a living room rather than in the Canadian wilds. This book well worth reading for anyone interested in a realistic accounting of the European settler interaction with indigenous residents during a couple centuries of canoe travel across northern North America. The book presents the perspective of mainly Scottish Hudson's Bay Co. personnel, but provides details on indigenous folks who led them on their explorations. The indigenous perspective (and that of the more numerous French voyageur rank and file) is still something of a mystery but this eminently readable book gets us partway there. Great stuff, kudos to the author for a job very well done.
