Peter C. Newman:. Company of Adventurers . Markham, Ontario: Penguin Books Canada Ltd., 1985. Review by Winona Stevenson My first introduction to Peter C. Newman's Company of Adventurers appeared in the Globe and Mail on October 19, 1985. Covering almost an entire page was a story entitled "A Daily Struggle by a Frozen Sea," the first of two promotional excerpts. I must admit, the excerpt was impressive. In fine narrative style interspersed with graphic anecdotes Newman took his reader back in time to the hardships of everyday life at the Company posts along the bay. Visions of the frost-lined, drafty cabins housing far too many arthritic men for comfort elicited pangs of sympathy. The huge amounts of food and alcohol consumed by these fortuitous men appeared inconsequential in light of the daily struggle they endured for sheer survival. Until now the history of the fur trade and the Hudson's Bay Company received the attention of a handful of scholars and other interested folk. Confined to the dry, rigid, scientific style considered necessary to establish scholastic credibility, historians have inadvertently reduced public access to the fruits of their labour. Newman's stylistic flair promised to provide 'non-academic' readers greater access to this fascinating feature of Canadian history. Furthermore, though lacking the finer qualities and techniques requisite in academic historic works (like proper footnote citations and critical analysis, to name just a few), the excerpt could not be considered horribly offensive to the more sensitive reader of historical literature. In anticipation I awaited the publication of the second excerpt.

Peter C. Newman: Caesars of the Wilderness . Markham: Viking, Penguin Books Canada Ltd., 1987. Review by Robert Coutts Amidst considerable promotional hype and media coverage Penguin Books has published Caesars of the Wilderness , volume two of Peter C. Newman's trilogy on the history of the Hudson's Bay Company. Company of Adventurers , the first volume of the series, covered the years from the founding of the Company in 1670 to the formation of the rival North West Company in 1783. Caesars begins in the period of fur trade competition, moves through the era of consolidation and monopoly in the nineteenth century, and ends with the sale of Rupertsland to Canada in 1869 and the displacement of the fur trade by agricultural settlement. Undaunted by the criticism of Company of Adventurers by fur trade scholars, Native organizations and others across Canada, Newman has continued his quest to "re-create the interplay of feisty characters and remarkable circumstances that shaped the story of the Hudson's Bay Company during the middle century of is existence" (p. xii). An ambitious undertaking, but what is the result? Ironically, Caesars of the Wilderness and its highblown claims to "unroll a new map of the Canadian past for contemporary readers" and to "extract live metaphors from the Dead Sea Scrolls of Canadian history" (p. xii), degenerates into a badly flawed, Eurocentric jumble of tired old cliches and stereotypes, factual inaccuracies and outdated interpretations. Eschewing any real primary research (only a handful of the book's endnotes refer to documentary sources) Newman relies instead upon secondary works that are often outdated, inaccurate or both. Like its predecessor, Caesars of the Wilderness largely ignores the fur trade scholarship of the last fifteen years in favour of the interpretations found in the works of an older generation of historians such as Frederick Merk, John Gray, Grace Lee Nute and Douglas MacKay, or in the anecdotal accounts of Grant MacEwen, Douglas Francis and Frank Rasky.

Peter C. Newman:A Bibliography Peter C. Newman has been called the "Jacques Cousteau of the Canadian corporate aquarium" and over many years has produced numerous books and articles about the major figures in Canadian business history. For this reason the staff members in the Business Library are compiling a bibliography of works by and about Peter C. Newman. Although this bibliography is still very much under construction and incomplete it was decided to make it available to students who are researching Canadian business history generally and Newman specifically. Considerable material needs to be added since Newman is both a prolific author and a popular subject. We would be glad to receive information about omissions and errors via email at busref@lib.uwo.ca. At this time the bibliography consists of three sections. The first provides an alphabetical list of books by Peter C. Newman that are available at the University of Western Ontario. We are also adding reviews of the books as we locate them. The second section lists articles written by Mr. Newman for the

IBM C-Planners' Web Site Answers from David Newman to Peter Rees Here is a note (dated 16.03.2001) from Peter Rees to the IBM Customer Response Centre on Pensions. It has answers to Peter's queries in blue from David Newman, Pensions Trust Manager (reply dated 03.04.2001). What do you think? Does it clarify the picture? To: UK Ireland General Enquiries/UK/IBM@IBMGB Subject: FW: Pension Fund Administration Query I have recently been told that IBM UK has transferred or is planning to transfer a huge sum of money out of the C plan fund which I contributed to and which I expect to use my contribution for the purpose for which I gave it. I have 3 questions: Is this true? No. There is only one fund, which supports a number of different sections of the IBM Main Pension Plan. These sections include the C plan, N Plan, M Plan........... What is true however, is that the IBM Company has not made any contributions to the M plan ( a new Defined Contribution section of the Main Plan introduced in 1997), as these have been funded out of the overall surplus. This is no different to the contributions holiday that the Company has taken in relation to the C plan, N Plan,.... since 1997. Your pension entitlements have not, and will not, been affected by any of the above.

History as Story. Peter C. Newman and the Hudson's Bay Co. By Chris Carton. Volume 18 Number 1 1990 January One of Canada's best-selling authors discusses his formula for success in popularizing Canadian history: romanticism, myth building and leaving out the dull parts. Enrolment in high school history courses is down. Past high school history is just a memory for most people. But history sells maybe not as well as crime or romance or espionage but it sells. Peter C. Newman is a writer whose history is read. People who could only just bear to hang on through the final exam in high school have cheerfully forked over twenty or thirty dollars to read Newman's Hudson's Bay Company histories, Company of Adventurers and Caesars of the Wilderness . Newman chatted with me while he was promoting an illustrated companion to these volumes, Empire of the Bay , which undoubtedly turned up under its share of Christmas trees. Teachers everywhere should ask themselves why. Newman is one of Canada's best known journalists. Formerly editor-in-chief of Canada's "national" magazine, Maclean's , and the country's largest newspaper, the Toronto Star, Newman looks back to a time when he was an eleven-year-old Jewish refugee from Czechoslovakia fleeing Hitler's nazism. In a career that includes thirteen best selling books on history and politics and numerous awards for journalism, the affection he feels for this country seems to be his guiding principle: 'I never took Canada for granted. I always thought this was an incredible, wonderful country. It saved my life when I was running away from the Nazis...and has given me not only a home but an incredible career."

CDA Institute, XIII Annual Seminar Military Leadership and Change in the 1990's PRESENTATION BY MR. PETER C. NEWMAN I want to start talking about my book, "The Canadian Revolution", as a kind of a metaphor of why we are here and why I think it is relevant to our problems. Now when people hear the words "Canadian revolution" they immediately think it's an oxymoron, like "jumbo shrimp" or "civil engineers", but it's not because in my view a revolution does not need to be a huge convulsion, people shooting at each other in city squares. I think what authenticates a revolution is not any random act of violence, but it is a shift in the values of the society that has undergone the revolution, and that's what I believe has happened in Canada. There was a revolution but it was a Canadian revolution. People attack me for saying it was a revolution, and it wasn't, I mean there was no violence, but I kept saying, "But you know, it's a Canadian revolution" which means that nobody got hurt. It's not a French revolution, an American revolution, a Hungarian revolution, it's a Canadian revolution, but it is a revolution nonetheless because there was a shift in values. As the subtitle of my book says, "From Deference to Defiance". The deference goes back many years. It goes back to the frontier of Canada when we had first the Hudson Bay posts, and later CPR, bank branches, and in each case the little towns, especially in the west where these things were happening, were really company towns, first Hudson Bay Company, later the CPR, et cetera. And when you live in a company town you defer to the authority of the company, and that deference to authority marked our frontier. Frontiers are important because they are the genesis of society.

We regret that, since losing your active participation thirteen years ago, we have never received any expression from you of any concerns over our policies, priorities or procedures until today. Our mission is to defend and enhance the quality and quantity of Canadian programming in the audio-visual system. Hence, our concerns include both public and private broadcasters, the cable monopolies, other distributors, the CRTC and the federal government. As Daryl, Ian and I told the CRTC yesterday, CanWest Global and CTV are the black sheep of the Canadian broadcasting system because they reach Canadians with so little Canadian programming during peak viewing periods. For example, only 5% of the prime-time audience Global assembled in 1999 watched Canadian shows, and only 12% of CTV's prime-time audience watched Canadian shows. We are therefore concerned to press these two broadcasters to become more Canadian, and to bear their share of the responsibilities imposed on all Canadian broadcasters by the Broadcasting Act.
