{"product_id":"company-crown-and-colony-stephen-royle-9781350165649","title":"Company, Crown and Colony: The Hudson's Bay Company and Territorial Endeavour in Western Canada","description":"The Hudson's Bay Company was one of the great merchant companies. Granted sole trading rights to a huge part of what is now Canada, they were coerced in the mid-nineteenth century to set up a colonial administration on Vancouver Island to protect British interests at a time of growing expansionism from America to the south and possible threats from a Russian Alaska to the north. 'Company, Crown and Colony' tells the story of the challenges they faced. Drawing on rich archival resources the author provides a detailed account of this turbulent period, revealing the difficulties faced by a leading merchant company as they sought to resolve their conflicting interests of commerce and settlement in a complex situation, and providing fresh and lively insights into the emergence of a region of North America that is today one of the principal commercial centres of Canada.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Royle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350165646\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350165649\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/28\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.67d","brand":"Stephen Royle","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43982740357375,"sku":"9781350165649","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2bdc1a9b-39a6-49e2-a691-80073e60571d.jpg?v=1683262786","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/company-crown-and-colony-stephen-royle-9781350165649","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
