DirkReading reviewed The Company by Stephen Bown
A surprising and fascinating story
5 stars
As a European this book gave me a glimpse into a part of history I was not aware of. What I found especially striking was how much my own assumptions were actually coming from what I knew about US history and how little of that was applicable. The Hudson Bay company had a massive influence on the country we call Canada now and what I learned about its history explained a lot and can still be felt today.
