Rather than a corporate chronicle of the Hudson’s Bay Company, the book examines the development of the Northwest itself—its travel routes, trading systems, and cultural encounters—and the traders’ role in opening the territory up to wider knowledge. Issued as part of the Canadian Centenary Series published for Canada’s Centennial, the volume offers an account of the early expansion into the Northwest up to the mid-nineteenth century.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heart of Gold Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44976617455755,"sku":"831","price":11.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8566\/7467\/files\/IMG_1308_37036796-640e-4733-a4c9-f6771c7ae018.jpg?v=1767202352","url":"https:\/\/heartofgoldbooks.com\/products\/the-fur-trade-and-the-northwest-to-1857","provider":"Heart of Gold Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
