"The rise and fall of the North West Company is one of the most dramatic episodes in the economic history of North America. Beginning as a pool or syndicate formed by a few bold adventurers who had penetrated to the fur-bearing regions of the Canadian North West in the early days of British rule, it developed into an organization which was one of the first examples of "big business" in the New World." (Wallace, Intro., p. 1) "This includes thirty-two documents, 1772-1827, printed from mss. in the Hudson's Bay House, London, and other sources, comprising the chief materials, both published and unpublished, on the 'constitutional history' of the Company." (TPL) The editor has appended a biographical dictionary of the Nor-westers, pp. 425-505, and a select bibliography, pp. 506-13. TPL1472. Peel 168. Seller Inventory # elala5403
