George Bryce
Rev. George Bryce (1844-1931), Presbyterian educator, churchman, scientist and historican, came to Winnipeg to found Manitoba College in 1871.

The Remarkable History Of The Hudson'S Bay Company
A full and well-researched account of the Hudson's Bay Company's significant role to the discovery and growth of Canada can be found in George Bryce's book The Remarkable History of the Hudson's Bay Company. Bryce looks at the history of the corporation, tracing its origins as a fur-trading enterprise and its development into a significant economic concern with a vast network of trade stations dispersed across the Canadian wilderness, from its inception in 1670 to the early 20th century. The book also discusses the challenges that the firm faced, such as competition with other merchants and the sometimes abrasive dealings with Indigenous peoples. Bryce looks at the company's place in Canadian politics as well as how it has affected the development of the country's economy, infrastructure, and culture. An exhaustive and instructive history of one of Canada's most significant institutions may be found in its full in The Remarkable History of the Hudson's Bay Company. It is a highly helpful resource for anybody with an interest in Canadian history, the fur trade, or the growth of commerce and industry in North America.
