Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'British Columbia, the Making of a Province' offers a comprehensive exploration of the formative years of Canada's westernmost province.

Spine a bit faded. Occasional thumbing or soiling but overall very clean. Title continues: "Containing, Remarks on the Voyages of John Meares by George Dixon, An Answer to Mr. George Dixon, by John Meares, and Further Remarks on the Voyages of John Meares, by George Dixon." Dixon and Meares were sea captains working for competing British fur trading companies. They managed to get in each other's way while on an expedition to the northwest coast of North America in 1786-87. Meares' published criticisms of George Dixon led the latter to publish a pamphlet about Meares' self-aggrandizement and false claims about discoveries really made by others.
