Includes Prologue; Epilogue; Appendices; and Index. Edited by John Geiger. Copiously illustrated with period paintings, drawings, original artwork, stunning modern color photographs, maps, and charts. "The epic story of the fur-trading company that built a nation. In words and with hundreds of breathtaking images, bestselling author Peter C. Newman recounts the enthralling 320-year saga of "the Bay" - the remarkable company that began with a royal grant and grew into history's largest private commercial empire." - from the rear outer jacket "What a story these rogues who shaped Canada's destiny have to tell! Peter Newman has told it with unmitigated rawness instead of awe." - New York Times "Engrossing, gripping stuff.In the hands of such a master word-craftsman as Newman, the historical tapestry woven is larger than life." - Calgary Herald "A monumental tale - the scale of it staggers the imagination." - Financial Times, London "Its empire once covered a twelfth of the earth's land surface, stretching from the Arctic Ocean to San Francisco and from Labrador to Hawaii. Today, on the verge of its 320th anniversary, the Hudson's Bay Company remains the world's oldest continuous commercial enterprise. The story of this fur-trading colossus and its long-running monopoly spans three centuries of war, exploration, intrigue, and endurance. Now in one large and lavish volume, Peter C. Newman, the bestselling author of a three-part history of "the Company of Adventurers," relates the three-century saga of the empire that fur built. In words and with dozens of fascinating pictures, this illustrated history explores how a group of merchant princes and their rugged employees tamed a wilderness and opened up the heart of a continent. It begins with the hapless mariners of the 1600s who stumbled into the icy bay atop North America while searching for the Orient. The treasures of the East eluded them, but the frozen lands they discovered held the promise of riches of another kind. Before long a rage for beaver hats in Europe spurred England's King Charles II to grant a vast region rich in furs to his cousin Prince Rupert and a group of investors. This charter of 1670 made them the "true and absolute Lordes and Proprietors" of all the seas and lands of Hudson Bay and its entire tributary system. In the years that followed, the trading posts of the Hudson's Bay Company would encompass three million square miles, making it the largest private landowner in history. In Empire of the Bay, each act of the ongoing drama is vividly narrated and compellingly conveyed with authentic contemporary paintings and illustrations. A host of maps, charts and photographs highlighted by informative captions and features illuminates the panoramic progress of the fur trade as it pushes ever farther into the wilds of North America. But, above all, the history of the Hudson's Bay Company is an account of the lives of remarkable people. The cast of characters depicted here includes Restoration aristocrats and backwoods voyageurs, eccentric knights and dispossesed Highlanders, heroic pathfinders and, ultimately, the pinstriped businessmen who today oversee holdings that generate an annual five billion dollars in revenue. Here is the stirring epic adventure of the company that became a nation - colourfully told by its leading historian and brilliantly evoked in hundreds of unforgettable images." - from the inner front jacket flap. Fleming, Kevin (photographer) (illustratore).…

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. Hindenburg: an Illustrated History; text by Rick Archbold; paintings by Ken Marschall; historical consultants: Dennis R. Kromm, Dr. Henry Cord Meyer, John Provan; a Viking Studio-Madison Press Book, Toronto, 1994. From the blurb A radio reporter's account of the giant Hindenburg crashing to the ground in flames at Lakehurst, New Jersey, remains one of the most famous broadcasts ever made. The Hindenburg was truly a flying luxury liner, and her spectacular destruction on May 6, 1937, marked the end of the great era of airship travel. Now, in one splendidly illustrated volume, the complete story of Germany's mammoth airship and the other silver giants that once crossed the skies is told as never before. Dozens of paintings, diagrams, black-and-white and color photographs many of them unpublished convey just what it was like to make a voyage on the largest aircraft ever constructed. In a spectacular three-page foldout, readers can explore the Hindenburg's passenger decks, from the lounge with its grand piano and the promenades with their panoramic views to the elegant dining room and the airtight smoking room. Ken Marshall's evocative paintings depict some of the great moments in the history of zeppelins up to the fiery disaster that brought the airship era to an untimely end.
