Excerpt from Masters of the Wilderness
The most insistent fact in history is the struggle between man and Nature, or between man and man with Nature for the prize.
Everywhere the puny human forces have dashed themselves with gallant idealism or reckless enthusiasm against the obduracy of primeval things.
In America the effort has not been in vain nor devoid of dramatic interest. A myriad of industrial adventures have found success, and the papers herewith offered may possibly renew a flagging interest in the first phases of the comprehensive movement which now takes so conspicuous a part in our national life.
History and story, it is said, are both narratives, but history is regarded merely as a record, story stimulates the imagination.
In truth history should stimulate more powerfully than fiction, for it concerns the ideals which have moved mankind. The greed of commerce, the greed of thought, the greed of faith, and the greed of love are alike masters of our destiny.
If kindling the mind is the mark of literary excellence, then it belongs to the historian, as to the novelist, to present his subject so that events will appear, not only in due order, but with appropriate values and the necessary climax.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book tells a thrilling tale of the impact the Hudson Bay Company had on the fur trade and the settlement of Canada. The Company's history begins with its founding in 1670, when it was granted a monopoly over the fur trade in the vast territory surrounding Hudson Bay. The author traces the company's rise to power, its rivalry with the Northwest Company, and its eventual merger with its competitor in 1821. The book offers a remarkable look into the fur trade, the lives of the native peoples who depended on it, and the adventurers who sought to profit from it. The author also examines the broader historical context of the company's operations, including the European powers' search for a Northwest Passage to Asia and the settlement of the Canadian West. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330497234_0
