Which Fur Trading Company Was the Most Successful?

The fur company I say that was the most successful is the Rocky Mountain Fur Company. According to Dale A. Lambert, the Rocky Mountain Fur Company's employees were given a lot more independence than the other companies would have permitted. Also, Encyclopaedia Brittanica also said that instead of stationary trading posts, the Rocky Mountain Fur Company traded furs at rendezvous with Native Americans there. Finally, the trading company made some unique discoveries, such as the wagon route through the Rocky Mountains.
