Fur Traders' Pistols Charles E
Fur Traders' Pistols Charles E. Hanson, Jr. The fur trade lasted over 400 years as our frontiers moved slowly to the west and- north across North America. Hundreds of thousands of guns were used by white traders and sold to Indians. Some of them were, quite naturally, pistols. Ordinarily Indians used long guns for hunting and were not too interested in pistols. However, a few were sold to them by British companies in the 18th Century and hundreds more were issued to Indian allies by the British during the War of 1812. Traders and their employees in the wilderness habitually carried both pocket and holster pistols for protection. The photographs show a few ordinary utility pistols which have possible association with the fur trade either by virtue of the location where they were collected or by In 1803, Alexander Mackenzie & Co., received from the name of their maker; there are others in various England: "6 prs. 10 in. pistols, sights, etc. and 3 prs. ditto, museums.

Settler Anxiety and State Support for Missionary Schooling in Colonial British Columbia, 1849–1871
57 Historical Studies in Education / Revue d’histoire de l’éducation ARTICLES / ARTICLES Settler Anxiety and State Support for Missionary Schooling in Colonial British Columbia, 1849–1871 Sean Carleton Mount Royal University ABSTRACT Indigenous peoples and settlers engaged in innumerable conflicts in the colonies of Vancouver Island and British Columbia between 1849 and 1871. The constant threat of violent Indigenous resistance to settler colonization in the Pacific Northwest — both real and imag- ined — produced feelings of anxiety for settlers, especially state officials, that shaped colonial strategy and statecraft. To buttress colonial security, the nascent state partnered with Christian missionaries in the hope that missionaries could use education to cultivate the goodwill of Indigenous peoples and train them to accept colonization. The state’s support for early mis- sionary schooling in colonial British Columbia is examined in the context of settler anxieties regarding three instances of Indigenous resistance: a Lekwungen convergence at Fort Victoria in 1851, the Puget Sound War of 1855–56, and the 1864 Tsilhqot'in War. In different ways, settler anxiety over these conflicts acted as a catalyst, prodding the state to support mission- ary schooling as a financially expeditious way of trying to contain Indigenous resistance and safeguard colonial security. RÉSUMÉ Entre 1849 et 1871, les colonies de l’île de Vancouver et de la Colombie-Britannique sont le lieu d’innombrables conflits entre les peuples autochtones et les colons. La menace constante — réelle et imaginaire — d’une résistance violente des Autochtones à la colonisation dans le nord-ouest du Pacifique a engendré un sentiment d’anxiété chez les colons, et en parti- culier chez les fonctionnaires de l’État, ce qui a façonné la stratégie et la gestion coloniale.

Australasian Law and Canadian Statutes in the Nineteenth Century
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by UC Research Repository 1 Australasian law and Canadian statutes in the Nineteenth Century: a study of the movement of colonial legislation between jurisdictions Jeremy Finn Associate Professor of Law, University of Canterbury. Author’s Note This paper was presented at the Australia and New Zealand Law and History Society Conference, Canberra, 2000 A revised version was later published as Jeremy Finn “Australasian Law and Canadian Statutes in the Nineteenth Century: a Study of the Movement of Colonial Legislation Between Jurisdictions” (2002) 25:2 Dalhousie Law Journal 169-214.: 1. Introduction This paper considers two principal1 areas. The first is an investigation of the extent to which the various Canadian legislatures in the period 1850 - 1900 drew upon legislation previously enacted in New Zealand or in one of the Australian colonies. The existence of such borrowing has been known for some time but has so far received only slight scholarly attention – as for example2 Perry’s investigation of the Victorian derivation3 of the NorthWest Irrigation Act and John McLaren’s study of immigration laws , and primarily as a phenomenon affecting only western Canada. The second part of the enquiry attempts to how legislative precedents from the Australasian colonies came to be used by the Canadian jurisdictions. It attempts to assess the data on borrowing from Australasian law in the context of the contemporary attitudes to legislation derived from other colonies, and in particular to consider how this interacted with the primary sources of Canadian colonial law – local innovation and adaptation or adoption of British law.

A Lasting Legacy: the Lewis And
WashingtonHistory.org A LASTING LEGACY The Lewis and Clark Place Names of the Pacific Northwest—Part II By Allen "Doc" Wesselius COLUMBIA The Magazine of Northwest History, Summer 2001: Vol. 15, No. 2 This is the second in a four-part series discussing the history of the Lewis and Clark expedition and the explorers' efforts to identify, for posterity, elements of the Northwest landscape that they encountered on their journey. Columbia River "The Great River of the West" was on the maps that Lewis and Clark brought with them but the cartographic lore of its upper reach influenced William Clark when he identified the supposed upper fork as "Tarcouche Tesse." British explorer Alexander Mackenzie had called the northern reach of the river "Tacoutche Tesse" in his 1793 journals and map. When the explorers realized they had reached the Columbia River on October 16, 1805, they also discerned that they would not discover the source of the drainage, important as that was for establishing the future sovereignty of the region. After Lewis & Clark determined that there was no short portage route between the Missouri and Columbia rivers, the myth of a Northwest Passage evaporated. The priority for the expedition now was to achieve the primary goal of its mission by reaching the mouth of the Columbia River. American rights of discovery to the Columbia were based on Robert Gray's crossing of the bar in 1792 at the river's discharge into the Pacific. He explored the waterway's western bay and named it "Columbia's River" after his ship, Columbia Rediviva.

189. (3) Exploration of City of Rocks And
IDAHO STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY REFERENCE SERIES EXPLORATION OF CITY OF ROCKS AND GRANITE PASS Number 189 August 1995 An expedition of Pacific Fur Company beaver hunters explored Snake River past Raft River in 1811, but that party was headed for a new Pacific Coast trading post at Astoria. Under Wilson Price Hunt’s and Donald Mackenzie’s supervision, that crew hurried west over a difficult route that discouraged extensive examination of side streams for several years. Ramsay Crooks and Robert Stuart brought a return party back up Snake River in 1812,1 but again they saw Cache Peak only from a considerable distance. Donald Mackenzie, however, was firmly convinced that a large scale Snake country fur trade would pay off, and in 1816 he returned as a North West Company partner to realize his ambition to start a large new trappers’ empire. By 1818, Mackenzie returned with a fairly large brigade of French Canadian and Iroquois trappers that included a variety of other people as well. His North West Company contingent moved over a broad area, enabling him to explore from Bear Lake and Upper Bear River on to Green River farther into Wyoming. He also checked Upper Snake River. Concluding his Snake country operations in 1820, he had established a system of mobile trapping and summer trading rendezvous that expanded2 trapping activities to Upper Raft River near City of Rocks. In 1822 Michel Bourdon brought Mackenzie’s brigade of trappers3 back to places like Cache Valley, where he explored new streams, and by 1824, that expansion extended to Upper Raft River and Tributary Creek in or close to City of Rocks.
