Radisson the Trailblazer of the Hudson Bay Frontier
The account profiles Pierre Esprit Radisson as a bold French explorer who preceded La Salle in the western wilds. It chronicles his journeys from St Malo to Quebec, his fur trade enterprises, the rise of the Hudson's Bay Company with Prince Rupert and King Charles, and his later conflicts with New France and England ending in obscurity.
