Notes

Stephen R. Bown’s book recounts the rise of the Hudson’s Bay Company from a small 17th-century fur-trading venture into a dominant political and economic power that shaped modern Canada. Founded in 1670, the Company expanded across northern and western North America, profoundly affecting Indigenous societies and regional economies. Through intense competition, violence, and ruthless leadership, it ruled vast territories for two centuries before losing its monopoly, leaving a lasting impact on the continent’s history.
