Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book narrates the genesis of the fur trade on Hudson Bay, from the early era of exploration to the rise of the Hudson's Bay Company in the 17th century. The author traces the adventures of pathfinders like Henry Hudson and Pierre Radisson, whose quest for the Northwest Passage opened doors to a new world of trade and commerce. A chronicle of daring voyages, encounters with indigenous peoples, struggles for dominance, and ruthless competition, the narrative delves into the motivations and strategies of those who established a commercial empire in the icy wilderness of the North. It explores themes of exploration, trade, rivalry, and the remarkable impact this era had on the geopolitical dynamics of the time. The book offers valuable insights into the origins of a global trade network that would indelibly shape the history of North America and Europe.
