Review: "Jim Mochoruk shows how government and business worked together to transform northern Manitoba from the exclusive fur-trading reserve of the Hudson's Bay Company into an industrial hinterland. Along the way, he also details the intricate dealings of the many entrepreneurs who came to the north, such as the colorful Captain William Robinson and Peter McArthur, and the fate of such impractical schemes as the millions of dollars invested in building an artificial island at remote Port Nelson. With impeccable research, Formidable Heritage reveals the full price and impact of short-sighted development for the land and people of the north."--BOOK JACKET.
