Overall, ""The Hudson Bay Company"" provides a comprehensive and engaging look at one of the most important companies in Canadian history, and its impact on the country's development.""Well do I remember the first time I stumbled upon the Indian village in which he lived. I had set out from Montreal with two trappers to pay a visit to the Labrador coast; we had travelled most of the way in a small Indian canoe, coasting along the northern shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and reconnoitring in the woods for portages to avoid rounding long capes and points of land, and sometimes in search of game; for we depended almost entirely upon our guns for food.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
