Will appeal to history buffs and fans of quality biography. Race and culture historical issues play a role in the book and make for a very interesting angle, as does the founding of the Hudson’s Bay Company, one of the lasting influences on Canada and the Northern US.

If you’re one of the many people who think that Canadian history is boring, this book may change your mind. -Barb Minett, The Bookshelf (Guelph, ON)
