"This wonderful book is a labour of love - it calls attention to a forgotten chapter in Canadian history by reviewing the accomplishments of a handful of men associated with the Hudson Bay Company, and it does that superbly. It is a work of great scholarship." J.R. Jehl, Hubbs-Sea World Research Institute
