Praise for The Company:
- "Absorbing and nuanced. . . . What distinguishes The Company's popular history is Bown's highlighting of those dynamic Indigenous polities and, as far as the historical records allow, some key individuals within them." —Maclean's
- "Stephen Bown . . . tells the story of the Hudson's Bay Company with verve and an astringent, contemporary slant. . . . Bown widens the lens to include a more-informed portrait of the peoples and a more-balanced assessment of the HBC's impact during 200 years of monopoly. . . . The Company is compelling, both as a lively narrative about a corporation that helped shape North American development and as a thoughtful exploration of the complex indigenous cultures that once dominated the continent." —Wall Street Journal
- "A thorough and comprehensive history of the international operation that helped create western Canada, The Company focuses on vivid portraits of the people whose personalities and actions made the Hudson's Bay Company what it was and what it failed to be." —Eugene Walz, 2021 J.W. Dafoe Book Prize Jury Chair
