Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal, Vol. 2 Reflecting upon the achievements of what might almost be called the apostolic succession of the fur-trade, one is inclined to agree with the dictum that throughout the British Empire Providence raises up men of a special breed to carry on great and special work. In the North-West and Hudson´s Bay Company´s services, like that of the East India Company (on a larger scale), for some two centuries men were needed able to acquire the habit of command and to develop responsibility. Their characters were formed amidst constant familiarity with danger, and they had to face, as one of them has said, "the occasional, and sometimes frequent, necessity, perhaps under even desperate circumstances, of rapid exercise of tact and sound judgment in coming to a safe conclusion when life and property were often staked on an immediate decision."
