About This Book

A detailed diplomatic and maritime history recounts competing claims to a Pacific Northwest harbor, tracing plans for occupation, frontier operations, the detention and seizure of vessels, and the handling of prisoners; it follows the successive rounds of negotiation, international tension as European powers prepared for wider war, and the issuance of demands, counterclaims, and a resulting convention that resolved immediate disputes. The study combines narrative of events with analysis of governmental correspondence, considers the role of other states and overseas colonies, and documents subsequent negotiations and the final settlement, supported by extensive archival research and a classified bibliography.
