Winnipeg, Manitoba: The Hudson's Bay Company, 1995. Book. Illus. by Marion E. Barker;. Very Good. Soft cover. First Edition. 4to. 56 pp. Light wear. Cover art by Marion E. Barker. Started in 1920, this magazine was founded by the Hudson's Bay Company as part of their 250th anniversary celebrations. HBC was chartered on the 2nd of May in the year 1670. Their main business was furs, primarily beaver pelts, hence the name of the magazine, The Beaver. In 1994, the magazine was acquired by Canada's National History Society.

Barker; Fuel for the Home Fires by Desmond Morton and Cheryl Smith; Louis Slotin and the Invisible Killer by Martin Zeilig; Tyrant of the Ottawa Valley - planting the Clan McNab in… Read More
