Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book narrates the ongoing efforts to establish a boundary line between Canada and the United States from the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Ocean. The efforts to determine this boundary line began in the early 19th century and were driven by the westward expansion of the United States and the presence of British fur trappers and traders in the region. Many groups had a stake in the outcome, including American settlers, British fur companies, Native American tribes, and the governments of the United States and Great Britain. Some of the key actors in this drama included Jason Lee, a Methodist missionary, and Dr. John McLoughlin, the chief factor of the Hudson's Bay Company. Through extensive research in primary sources, the author uncovers the complex motivations and actions of these individuals and groups and reveals how their interactions shaped the ultimate outcome of the boundary dispute. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
