The Canadian Fur Trade in the Industrial Age.

The Canadian Fur Trade in the Industrial Age.

Ray's study is the first to make extensive use of the Hudson's Bay Company archives dealing with the period between 1870 and 1945. These and other documents reveal a great deal about the decline of the company, and thus about a key element in the history of the modern Canadian fur trade.
