Paperback. Zustand: New. As Volume 1 has shown, an agreed line between the US and British North America was by the mid-19th century in place across the continent. But it could only survive if the authorities and people to its north wanted to maintain it. Much of Volume 2's focus is accordingly more domestic: Canada's evolution,…notably LaFontaine's determination (after the 1937 and 1838 'Patriote' rebellions) that French Canadian interests could best be protected by working with the Upper Canadian Reformer Baldwin to secure 'responsible government' within the political system; the 1867 Confederation of the main British North American provinces into a single Dominion, often defended as their only way of remaining both British and distinct from the US, and which in New Brunswick benefited from backlash against a projected Fenian incursion; the keeping of the West out of American hands, through the rapid creation in response to the 1858 Fraser Valley gold rush of the Colony of British Columbia and then, in 1869, the despatch of a new Governor to steer that Colony into Confederation; the complicated way in which Canada eventually came to buy the Prairies from the Hudson's Bay Company in 1869, only to have Métis keep its prospective Governor from entry; Louis Riel's establishment of a Provisional Government, and its negotiation next year of entry into Confederation as the province of Manitoba; the slower consolidation of Canadian control over these newly acquired areas, a process involving the creation of the iconic Northwest Mounted Police and Canadian Pacific Railway as well as the doomed attempt by Riel to repeat his 1869-70 achievements by again establishing a Provisional Government (now as the Prophet of a new religion) and negotiating with Canada. To these domestic themes, the book adds international ones arising out of Russia's unforced decision to sell Alaska to the United States in 1867, which led to disputes first over the US claim to ownership of the entire Bering Sea (to prevent 'pelagic sealing') and then over the Lynn Canal ports providing access to the Klondike goldfields. England's Chief Justice's substantial alignment with the American side of the 1903 Alaska Boundary Tribunal left Canada badly bruised, but once this feeling subsided resolution of that border question led on to settlement of many other Canada-US disputes, including the final boundary difference over Passamaquoddy Bay mudflats. Like Volume 1, this volume is firmly based on primary sources, but written in a way that should appeal to the general reader as much as to specialised historians. Its chief actors are politicians and administrators, but there is a range of others, extending from First Nations chiefs to goldminers, railway entrepreneurs, prophets, and policemen. In the concluding chapter the book's general historical approach is supplemented by assessment of the main perspectives of 'international relations theory'. Finally, attention is drawn to small anomalies created by the boundary.

Paperback. Zustand: New. This is the only book to tell, in a way that should appeal to both specialised historians and the general reader, the story of how the course of what became the US-Canadian border was agreed, step by step, between 1763 and 1910, and to take in episodes, like the 1790 Nootka Sound crisis, that had major i…mpacts but seldom figure in accounts of Anglo-American relations. Firmly based on primary documents, both published and unpublished, the book can often shed new light by using not only the more familiar American sources but also sometimes-overlooked British ones. Often at odds with geography, the border's line might well have been different. Thus had an 1803 treaty been negotiated faster, it would have turned south at the Lake of the Woods not west along the 49th parallel, while in the 'War of 1812' the US sought to take 'Canada', Britain to make 'Michigan' an 'independent' Indian reserve. And adventitious factors could prove important: resolution of the long-running north-eastern boundary dispute was much helped by Daniel Webster's ability to pressure Maine's leaders by showing them recently acquired historic maps that seemed to bear out the British claim, while a similar British map implying the opposite did not surface until after the 1842 treaty. Had these maps come to light in a different order, compromise would have been far harder. The book's chief actors are politicians and diplomats, but developments would be influenced by a range of others extending from First Nations chiefs and prophets to surveyors, sea captains, and ordinary people - from 1832-5 the tiny settlement of Indian Stream constituted itself an independent 'Republic', while in 1843 52 settlers in the Willamette Valley set up what proved a successful Provisional Government that ran Oregon until the US finally took over in 1849.
