There they encountered a mild and forgiving climate and abundant natural resources and, with the aid of Native traders, branched out into farming, fishing, logging, and mining. Following its merger with the North West Company in 1821, the Hudson's Bay Company set up its headquarters at Fort Vancouver on the lower Columbia River. From there, the company dominated much of the non-Native economy, sending out goods to markets in Hawaii, Sitka, and San Francisco. Trading Beyond the Mountains looks at the years of exploration between 1793 and 1843 leading to the commercial development of the Pacific coast and the Cordilleran interior of western North America. Mackie examines the first stages of economic diversification in this fur trade region and its transformation into a dynamic and distinctive regional economy. He also documents the Hudson's Bay Company's employment of Native slaves and labourers in the North West coast region. 606 $aFur trade$zBritish Columbia$zPacific Coast$xHistory 606 $apelshandel 606 $aHudson bay 606 $akort 606 $akolonialisme 606 $acolonialism 606 $afur trade 606 $ahandel 606 $atrade 606 $aFur trade$zPacific Coast (U.S.)$xHistory 607 $aCanada 607 $aNorthwest Coast of North America 615 0$aFur trade$xHistory. 615 $apelshandel 615 $aHudson bay 615 $akort 615 $akolonialisme 615 $acolonialism 615 $afur trade 615 $ahandel 615 $atrade 615 0$aFur trade$xHistory. 676 $a971.1/102 686 $a339(*41) Mac 700 $aMackie$b Richard$f1957-$01574217 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780681603321 996 $aTrading beyond the mountains$93850340 997 $aUNINA
