About This Item
This is a third printing (1986) of Company of Adventurers, by the Canadian journalist Peter C Newman, who has signed the title page.
It is the first of two volumes on the history of the Hudson's Bay Company which, for some time controlled the entire territory between San Francisco and the Beaufort Sea. This book illustrates how its merchant founders tamed the wilderness to build the world's largest private commercial empire.
Also listed here, I have an unread first edition of Caesars of the Wilderness, part two of this story (see last photo). If you want both, please message me.
This is a beautiful book, elegantly designed with tons of photos, maps and drawings.
413 pages.
It has not been read, or even opened, until now.
There is a tiny bit of shelfwear to the dust jacket.
The book is in mint condition.
