This book was released on 1988 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This examination of the Company's management focuses its place in the history of the expansion of Europe, and more particularly, on the management of long-distance trade as one aspect of that expansion. Central to this analysis are the objectives of the company, the way it maximized opportunities and minimized risk and uncertainty, the organization of its affairs to coordinate the barter trade in North America and the London fur market, and their influence on the long-term survival of the Company.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Hudson Bay Road: 1498-1915 No one doubts that the Gulf of Bothnia is of incalculable service to the adjacent countries for the transportation of the crops which are their most important products, although the climate is said to be very rigorous, principally in Finland, in the northern part of which the sun is absent for the two months of December and January every winter, which itself lasts from six to nine months. Moreover, the area of Finland, north of the 6oth degree (which, by the way, represents the northern limit of Greater Manitoba), is square miles, or square miles less than the three constituencies of the Pas, Grand Rapids and Churchill Nelson, and its population is close to Although the soil is for the most part stony and poor, ten years ago its exports amounted to and its total foreign commerce to The attention of my readers may also be drawn to Archangel, a seaport on the White Sea, which is very much to Russia what Hudson Bay is to Canada. Arch angel is a city of inhabitants and is the capital of the province of the same name. The province contains square miles and has a population of people. The port is closed for six months by ice, being almost seven degrees of latitude further north than Fort Churchill. This may serve to demonstrate that, all climatic conditions guarded, Manitoba has acquired much valuable territory, and that, the feasibility of the Hudson Bay route once admitted, the future of the Pas, the natural distributing point for the whole of Western Canada and its wonderful wealth in agricultural and other natural products, is assured. The purpose of this book is chiefly to tell of the country along the Hudson Bay Railway now under construction, of Hudson Bay, the Mediterranean Sea of North America, and of the resources to be found in Manitoba's new territory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Plowed Under, Andrew P. Duffin traces the transformation of the Palouse region of Washington and Idaho from land thought unusable and unproductive to a wealth-generating agricultural paradise, weighing the consequences of what this progress has wrought. During the twentieth century, the Palouse became synonymous with wheat, and the landscape was irrevocably altered. At the dawn of the twenty-first century, native vegetation is almost nonexistent, stream water is so dirty that it is often unfit for even livestock, and 94 percent of all land has been converted to agriculture. Commercial agriculture also created a less noticeable ecological change: soil erosion. While common to industrial agriculture nationwide, topsoil loss evoked different political and social reactions in the Palouse. Farmers all over the nation take pride in their freedom and independence, but in the Palouse, Duffin shows, this mentality - a remnant of an older agrarian past - has been taken to the extreme and is partly responsible for erosion problems that are among the worst in the nation. In the hope of charting a better, more sustainable future, Duffin argues for a candid look at the land, its people, their decisions, and the repercussions of those decisions. As he notes, the debate is not over whether to use the land, but over what that use will look like and its social and ecological results.
Download or read book Minnesota and the Manifest Destiny of the Canadian Northwest written by Alvin C. Gluek Jr. and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1965-12-15 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Lake of the Woods to the Rocky Mountains, only a line separates Canada from the United States—the mute evidence of each nation's manifest destiny. As a boundary, the 49th parallel is entirely manmade and will never really divide the Northern Great Plains, for it is a region at once geographically and historically united. Certainly from 1821 to 1869-70, the years limiting this study, a unity was most evident; the history of the British Northwest was inextricably bound up with that of the American Northwest. Professor Gluek gives here a detailed and engrossing account of the complex relationship that developed between St. Paul and the Red River Settlement from 1821 to 1870. During this time, despite attempts by the Hudson's Bay Company to discourage free trade, the Red River Valley became the bridge upon which a broad economy was built. The economic bond was strengthened by the 1850's when Minnesota's transportation system to the outside world became so efficient that even the Company began to use it. Minnesotan dreams of engrossing all the commerce of the Northwest, and perhaps gaining Manitoba by default, were frustrated by the failure to renew the Reciprocity Treaty of 1854 and Canada's efforts to obtain Rupert's Land. Minnesota became militantly expansionist, but, despite her pleas in the late 1850's and 1860's for active United States intervention, little was really done. With distinctly superior diplomatic skills, Canada's first Prime Minister, Sir John A. Macdonald, bested his American adversaries, won the Northwest for his young country, and assured it of transcontinental greatness. All of those who are interested in Canadian and American history—both the professional historian and everyone who is fascinated by the romance of the West—will enjoy this lively, well-written record of the people and the events of an important period in Canadian-American relations.
Download or read book Canada and the Idea of North written by Sherrill E Grace and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2002-04-15 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canada and the Idea of North examines the ways in which Canadians have defined themselves as a northern people in their literature, art, music, drama, history, geography, politics, and popular culture. From the Franklin Mystery to the comic book superheroine Nelvana, Glenn Gould's documentaries, the paintings of Lawren Harris, and Molson beer ads, the idea of the north has been central to the Canadian imagination. Sherrill Grace argues that Canadians have always used ideas of Canada-as-North to promote a distinct national identity and national unity. In a penultimate chapter - "The North Writes Back" - Grace presents newly emerging northern voices and shows how they view the long tradition of representing the North by southern activists, artists, and scholars. With the recent creation of Nunavut, increasing concern about northern ecosystems and social challenges, and renewed attention to Canada's role as a circumpolar nation, Canada and the Idea of North shows that nordicity still plays an urgent and central role in Canada at the start of the twenty-first century.
