  • Gaytan to Marin Donald Cutter the Spanish Legend, That
    The Spanish in Hawaii: Gaytan to Marin Donald Cutter The Spanish legend, that somehow Spain anticipated all other Europeans in its discovery and presence in most every part of the New World, extends even to the Pacific Ocean area. Spain's early activity in Alaska, Canada, Washington, Oregon, and California reinforces the idea that Spain was also the early explorer of the Pacific Islands. The vast Pacific, from its European discovery in Panama by Vasco Nunez de Balboa, until almost the end of the 18th Century, was part of the Spanish overseas empire. Generous Papal recognition of Spain's early discoveries and an attempt to avert an open conflict between Spain and Portugal resulted in a division of the non-Christian world between those Iberian powers. Though north European nations were not in accord and the King of France even suggested that he would like to see the clause in Adam's will giving the Pope such sweeping jurisdiction, Spain was convinced of its exclusive sovereignty over the Pacific Ocean all the way to the Philippine Islands. Spain strengthened both the Papal decree and the treaty signed with Portugal at Tordasillas by observing the niceties of international law. In 1513, Nunez de Balboa waded into the Pacific, banner in hand, and in a single grandiose act of sovereignty claimed the ocean and all of its islands for Spain. It was a majestic moment in time—nearly one third of the world was staked out for exclusive Spanish control by this single imperial act. And Spain was able to parlay this act of sovereignty into the creation of a huge Spanish lake of hundreds of thousands of square miles, a body of water in which no other European nation could sail in peaceful commerce.

The routes of precontact inland trails are no longer known well due to the decimation of the local population in the 18th and 19th centuries. Industrial logging is threatening to destroy archaeological evidence of the inland trail network, and therefore this inquiry is timely. The largest and most topographically diverse island, Graham, has been the subject of many archaeological impact assessments that have documented hundreds of archaeological sites, most of them containing culturally modified trees.

  • The Ballad of the Bold Northwestman: an Incident
    THE BALLAD OF THE BOLD NORTHWESTMAN : AN INCIDENT IN THE LIFE OF CAPTAIN JOHN KENDRICK* The ballad of the Bold Northwestman, once a prime favorite in the forecastles of the maritime trading vessels, gives an account of an incident in the life of one of those whose name was well known in New England ships and New England homes-Captain John Kendrick. The mere fact that the ballad does not mention his name may almost be taken as evidence to SUppOlt this state­ ment; it certainly was not omitted for the sake of rhyme or metre, with both of which the balladist takes more than the usual liberties. Captain John Kendrick commanded the expedition of the Columbia and the Washington, the first vessels from Boston to engage in the maritime fur-trade. In July, 1789, (for what reason is not as yet ·definitely known) he handed over the ship Columbia to Captain Gray and for the remainder of his life sailed the little sloop, Wash­ ington. In her he reached China in January 1790. There he trans­ formed her into a brig (or, more probably, a brigantine) and sailed again for the Northwest Coast in March 1791. In June 1791 the Indians of Houston Stewart Channel, in the southern part of Queen Charlotte Islands, British Columbia, attempted to capture his little vessel. This waterway has borne many names; the maritime traders lefer to it as Koyah's, Coyah's, Coyour's, after the Indian chief of the locality who figures in the ballad, though not by name. Captain Robert Gray, in June, 1789, when in command of the sloop JlVash­ ington, had called it Barrell Sound, after his principal owner.

  • Heinrich Zimmermann and the Proposed Voyage of the Imperial and Royal Ship Cobenzell to the North West Coast in 1782-17831 Robert J
    Heinrich Zimmermann and the Proposed Voyage of the Imperial and Royal Ship Cobenzell to the North West Coast in 1782-17831 Robert J. King Johann Heinrich Zimmermann (1741-1805) a navigué sur le Discovery lors du troisième voyage de James Cook au Pacifique (1776-1780) et a écrit un compte du voyage, Reise um die Welt mit Capitain Cook (Mannheim, 1781). En 1782 il a été invité par William Bolts à participer à un voyage à la côte nord-ouest de l'Amérique partant de Trieste sous les couleurs autrichiennes impériales. Ce voyage était conçu comme réponse autrichienne aux voyages de Cook, un voyage impérial de découverte autour du monde qui devait comprendre l'exploitation des possibilités commerciales du commerce des fourrures sur la côte nord- ouest et le commerce avec la Chine et le Japon. Zimmermann a été rejoint à Trieste par trois de ses anciens compagnons de bord sous Cook -- George Dixon, George Gilpin et William Walker, chacun destiné à naviguer comme officier sur le navire impérial et royal Cobenzell. Les lettres et le journal de Zimmermann qui ont survécu fournissent une source valable à cette étude des origines du commerce maritime des fourrures sur la côte nord-ouest. On 24 July 1782, George Dixon wrote from Vienna to Heinrich Zimmermann, his former shipmate on the Discovery during James Cook’s 1776-1780 expedition to the North Pacific: Dear Harry, Yours I Rec‘d, and am glad you have Resolution, like the Honest Sailor which I allways have taken you for, and are willing to be doing sum thing both for your self and the Country.

  • 2007Columbia Rediviva Phinny Hill Vineyard Estate Grown, Horse Heaven Hills 52% Syrah & 48% Cabernet Sauvignon
    2007 Columbia Rediviva phinny hill vineyard estate grown, horse heaven hills 52% syrah & 48% cabernet sauvignon The Columbia Rediviva is the growing centerpiece of Buty. It is a captivating and exotic blend from Washington State comprised of two classic varietals. Buty was the first Washington winery to focus on blends of cabernet sauvignon and syrah as deluxe wines. We are pleased others are following our lead in pursuing this lovely blend. 100% sourced from our estate grown vines at Phinny Hill Vineyard, Columbia Rediviva grows from one of the warmest sites in Washington. Phinny Hill consistently grows ripe wines of structurally ideal balance. The cabernet and syrah grow on the east slopes of Phinny Hill in sand- silt-loam soils which lay above layers of cobblestones from the pre-Ice Age rivers. Our blocks are chosen also for the leeward side of the hill where they are permanently protected from the forceful Columbia River winds. The grapes of the Columbia Rediviva were sorted by hand both in the vineyard and again at the winery on hand sorting tables. Then, by strict selection of the best lots, our final cellar blend this vintage was made of only 65% of the vintage yield. The warm summer produced amazingly small berries that were fully ripe in early October. The cabernet sauvignon we hand harvested 112 days after flowering, on October 2nd. The syrah we harvested 112 days after flowering, also on October 2nd. We fermented both the syrah and the cabernet sauvignon in wooden Taransaud tanks. We selected two French coopers and one American cooper to age in primarily new barrels until bottling in July 2009.
