On the 22nd in 1793, Alexander MacKenzie[ arrived at Bella Coola, British Columbia, Canada ending a journey that he had begun in Montreal, Canada; this trip was the first recorded transcontinental journey across the North American continent north of Mexico.

The North West Company, a major competitor of the Hudson’s Bay Company in the Canadian West, had employed MacKenzie. The two companies would merge when fierce battles began to be fought between each other when competing for the Canadian the fur business. I guess hostile takeovers go back to the eighteenth century.
