Excerpt from The Oregon Missions, the Story of How the Line Was Run Between, Canada and the United States
The struggle, known as the Northwest Boundary dis pute, clearly emerged into consciousness at the convention of Ghent in 1818, which provided for the joint occupation of the territory, became serious on the union of the North West Eir Company with the Hudson's Bay Company in 1821, and the establishment of Fort Vancouver on the Columbia River in 1824-25, rapidly developed on the erection of forts by the Hudson's Bay Company south of the 49th parallel, and the entrance in 1834 of American missionaries into the Columbia River valley, became acute on the organization of the Provisional Government of Oregon in 1843, and nearly involved the two nations in war in 1846.

Excerpt from The Oregon Missions, the Story of How the Line Was Run Between, Canada and the United States
The aim of this book is to portray the deeds which determined the boundary line between Great Britain and the United States from the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Ocean. When the contest began, Mexico owned the south-western portion of North America as far north as 42° - the northern boundary of California; and Russia owned Alaska and a portion of the mainland, which both Great Britain and the United States in 1824 recognized as extending as far south as 54° 40'. Originally, therefore, the contest involved the question as to how the territory west of the Rocky Mountains between Russia on the north and Mexico on the south should be divided between the United States and Great Britain. The entire region was known as The Oregon Country. The area embraced 443,871 square miles of territory, a territory considerably larger than the whole Atlantic Coast east of the Appalachian Mountains, a territory whose climate and whose mineral and agricultural resources make its natural value as great as that of any equal amount of territory in eastern North America or western Europe. Moreover, as this territory lies within the Pacific Basin - the largest and the last great world basin to be developed - probably its political and strategic value eventually will become great, just as coastal lands in the Atlantic Basin and in the Mediterranean Basin are of great importance to-day.

Paperback. Zustand: 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. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781330490921_0
