"The west coast of North America in the mid-eighteenth century, sparsely settled and little known to the rest of the world, precipitously entered the fold of history largely through the unddertakings of three legendary travelers. The formidalbe and autocratic Spanish priest Father Junipero Serra founded a string of missions in California for the greater glory of God. The intrepid Englishman Captain James Cook made landmark voyages that opened the Pacific region to trade. And a restless hunter from North Carolina, Daniel Boone, trekked into the wild, luring other adventurers across the continent. With clarity and vigor, this epic of pre-Gold Rush California and the Pacific Northwest illuminates their lives and the lives of the men who followed in their footsteps: British naval officer George Vancouver, whose crews surveyed and charted the western coastline; John Ledyard, whose Quixotic schemes for getting rich intrigued even Thomas Jefferson; merchant trader Richard Cleveland, whose trips to Canton spurred the developing China trade; Harvard dropout Richard Henry Dana, who signed aboard the brig Pilgrim and described his adventures along the California coast in Two Years Before the Mast. More than strictly a historical account, The Outer Coast is a chronicle of experience and conflict. The confrontations between Spanish officials and Yankee trappers, the struggles among men (and nations) for territories and trade routes, the expeditions where only the daring, or lucky, survived, create an unforgettable panorama of achievement and endurance. We discover firsthand how it must have felt to live on the outer coast of America in those distant times." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

The treaty he negotiated with local Aborigines in 1835 to acquire land was controversial, as he offered tools, blankets and food in exchange for thousands of hectares of land.
