Episode Pierre Esprit Radisson - No Betrayal Too Shameless
Pierre Esprit Radisson had many admirable traits such as bravery and charm, but his willingness to throw over any sense of loyalty to family or nation when it suited him was truly remarkable. This episode covers his early days in North America where he will craft a plan to change the path of the fur trade in Canada.
