Paperback. Non-fiction, history-guidebook; 1800s to early 1900s in Pacific Northwest -- BC, Yukon, Alaska, Washington State. This is a new history guidebook written by Kenneth E. Perry and offers a brief historical account of fur-trading outposts in the Pacific Northwest. Accompanied by numerous historical photos, the book gives readers insight into the colonisation of the wild West Coast by the bold and hopeful men looking for a new life as they worked for trading companies. It is a testimonial to the various trading companies, particularly the Hudson's Bay Company, that built vast empires while settling a wild and untamed frontier. By following the history of these forts, readers will see how the Hudson's Bay Company controlled the fur-trading industry and merchandising supply network at the time and how they employed that sense of spirit and drive to be able to survive the test of time and become a major modern retail business. The book allows readers to revisit a great historical past through a comprehensive collection of western forts and posts.
