Summary "Hudson Bay" by R. M. Ballantyne is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. The book explores the operations of the Hudson Bay Company and the life of its apprentices in the wild northern regions of America, particularly around Hudson Bay. The narrative is introduced through the experiences of a young clerk who embarks on a journey filled with adventure, discovery, and the challenges of living in a harsh, uncivilized environment. The beginning of the book sets the stage for the protagonist's appointment to the Hudson Bay Company and his subsequent voyage to the remote territories of North America. The protagonist's initial excitement is tempered by the hardships of sea sickness as he travels aboard the ship "Prince Rupert", where he interacts with fellow voyagers and the ship's crew. The preface hints at the changes occurring in the company while highlighting the everyday life and struggles that will be depicted throughout the story. As readers are introduced to the characters, including fellow clerk Mr. Wiseacre and the captain, there is an immediate sense of camaraderie and anticipation as they prepare for their adventure in a world that is both thrilling and dangerous.
