When Charles II granted the original Charter to his cousin, Prince Rupert, and his gallant Company of Adventurers, it was the beginning of the world's largest private commercial empire....Peter C.

This is a third printing (Date: 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.

NEWMAN on half-title page; edge wear to dust jacket; light age tanning to pages; otherwise very minimal wear; Peter C. Newman's sweeping chronicle of the Hudson's Bay Company is a vivid and dramatic account of the people and events that ultimately determined the destiny of a continent. In telling these stories, Newman skilfully marshals a congress of the most colourful merchant adventurers ever assembled: Radisson and Groseilliers, the woodrunners who first divined the Hudson Bay fur route; Knight, the octogenarian prospector who vanished in mysterious circumstances; and Thanadelthur, the Slave Woman who whispered the secret of the Klondike a hundred years before the Gold Rush. They and many others became Caesars of the wilderness - the men and women who created the Company that became the heart of a nation. 1985. Viking ISBN 0670803790 9780670803798 [CA]
