The Northwest company

I believe that the most successful fur trading company was the Northwest fur trading company. The first reason for this is that they expanded a lot. According to the book Washington: A Sate of Contrasts, the Astorians were bought out by this company. Since they bought out Astoria, it is proof of their influence in the fur trade. According to nwcouncil.org, the Northwest company was much better organized and managed then the Pacific company. According to oregonpioneers.com, from 1813 until 1821, the Northwest company had no competition in the Pacific Northwest. This proves that they were a force to be reckoned with. That is why I think they were the most successful fur trading company of the four.
