## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A delightful and highly informative read
*by P***H on January 12, 2023*

I feared that this book would be a tedious read with too much detail to sustain my interest. However, as soon as I started to read it I realized that my misgivings were entirely misplaced. Stephen Brown has written a delightful narrative that perfectly blends geographical, political and historical facts with compelling biographical stories detailing the adventures of the many colorful characters who forged the history of the Company. I particularly appreciated his perspectives on the roles, treatment and fates of the indigenous peoples on whose lands the story is built. I learned so much from reading this book, and thoroughly enjoyed every page.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great way to learn interesting history of early Canada and Capitalism
*by K***H on February 14, 2021*

A massive and well-researched tome. I really enjoyed the discussion and insights into the barter economy - what relative values the Natives placed on different Company wares (e.g., small metal pots were preferred over large ones because they valued portability) and the fact that the Natives spent about 1/3 of their "money" on luxuries and 2/3 on necessities. This ratio is not much different in most modern household budgets.There is also a lot of rich history on the early settlements in the Pacific Northwest, and interesting details on how travelers actually survived on 1000-mile treks as well as how Natives managed to survive, if precariously, while camping out year-round in the subarctic.Overall, an enjoyable and informative book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Masterfully Written History!!
*by J***T on March 13, 2025*

This is one of the most thorough and impressive books covering the exploration and settlement of the North American continent that I have ever read. Most of the names are probably better known to Canadian's but Americans and others would do well to acquaint themselves with the larger-than-life men and women that explored and worked the massive land that would be Canada - Mattonabbee, Samuel Hearne, Anthony Henday, David Thompson, Alexander MacKenzie, and many others. Fans of the Lewis and Clark Expedition and the American Mountain Men (Jedediah Smith, Kit Carson, etc) will especially gain a much deeper understanding of that period after reading this wonderful book.
