Empire of the Bay

Résumé du livre

There has never been a business enterprise like it--at its height, the Hudson's Bay Company's territory covered one-twelfth of the earth's surface and was ten times the size of the Holy Roman Empire. Its domain stretched from London across Canada, down to San Francisco, and across the Pacific to Hawaii. Its founders tamed a wilderness, and in building the world's largest private commercial empire, they shaped the destiny of a continent.
