Synopsis

This book delves into the 1874 boundary survey proposal between the United States and British Columbia, exploring the complex negotiations and diplomatic exchanges surrounding the demarcation of the border between the two regions. The author analyzes the role of the Hudsons Bay Company in leasing the lisiere, a strip of land along the boundary, from the Russian American Company in 1839. The book also examines the significance of the Stikine River, a waterway central to the boundary dispute, and the case of Peter Martin, an Indigenous leader whose testimony contributed to the resolution of the conflict.
