  • The Conquest of the Great Northwest Piled Criss-Cross Below Higher Than
    The Conquest of the Great Northwest festooned by a mist-like moss that hung from tree to tree in loops, with the windfall of untold centuries piled criss-cross below higher than a house. The men grumbled.They had not bargained on this kind of voyaging. Once down on the west side of the Great Divide, there were the Forks.MacKenzie's instincts told him the northbranch looked the better way, but the old guide had said only the south branch would lead to the Great River beyond the mountains, and they turned up Parsnip River through a marsh of beaver meadows, which MacKenzie noted for future trade. It was now the 3rd of June.MacKenzie ascended a. mountain to look along the forward path. When he came down with McKay and the Indian Cancre, no canoe was to be found.MacKenzie sent broken branches drifting down stream as a signal and fired gunshot after gunshot, but no answer!Had the men deserted with boat and provisions?Genuinely alarmed, MacKenzie ordered McKay and Cancre back down the Parsnip, while he went on up stream. Whichever found the canoe was to fire a gun.For a day without food and in drenching rains, the three tore through the underbrush shouting, seeking, despairing till strength vas ethausted and moccasins worn to tattersBarefoot and soaked, MacKenzie was just lying down for the night when a crashing 64 "The Coming of the Pedlars" echo told him McKay had found the deserters. They had waited till he had disappeared up the mountain, then headed the canoe north and drifted down stream.

  • Reviews & Short Features
    REVIEWS OF BOOKS The Voyageur. By GRACE LEE NUTE. (New York and London, D. Appleton and Company, 1931. viii, 289 p. Illustrations. $3.00.) What a valuable and stirring contribution to history we have here! Reading Miss Nute's book I found myself not only turning pages eagerly, to come quickly to what was ahead; but turning time back­ ward. Pictures flashed out of memory and added their illumination to Carl W. Bertsch's satisfying illustrations. It Is springtime, a northern spring colored with red ground wil­ lows. At the junction of two clouded and turbulent rivers a fur post stands on the high bank. A fur fleet is swinging down on the treacherous flow of the major stream. The vessels, heaped high with pelts, are bateaux and pirogues —" mon canot" could not carry such a vast load of peltry, and it might have short shrift on this furious current. The crew is a mixed one of Indians, — Cree and Dene chiefly, — hois hrules, and French-Canadians. Among the " Canucks " are men who believe that their ancestors paddled west­ ward with the first trader-explorers of New France. They are stal­ wart sons of a long line of bold watermen. The rivers of " Ke-bec," the perilous waves of the Great Lakes, even Mackenzie — invaded by steamboats — have turned faithless under the influences of time and civilization, and the voyageur seeks his love now on Parsnip and Peace, Skeena, Nechaco, and Fraser. And there are stretches of these rivers, at least, where he does still skim the tide in the light canoe, which is the gift the Indian Magi gave to strangers from Normandy three centuries ago to be the cradle of a new people.

    UC Merced UC Merced Electronic Theses and Dissertations Title Soft gold and the Pacific frontier: geopolitics and environment in the sea otter trade Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/03g4f31t Author Ravalli, Richard John Publication Date 2009 Peer reviewed|Thesis/dissertation eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California 1 Introduction Covering over one-third of the earth‘s surface, the Pacific Basin is one of the richest natural settings known to man. As the globe‘s largest and deepest body of water, it stretches roughly ten thousand miles north to south from the Bering Straight to the Antarctic Circle. Much of its continental rim from Asia to the Americas is marked by coastal mountains and active volcanoes. The Pacific Basin is home to over twenty-five thousand islands, various oceanic temperatures, and a rich assortment of plants and animals. Its human environment over time has produced an influential civilizations stretching from Southeast Asia to the Pre-Columbian Americas.1 An international agreement currently divides the Pacific at the Diomede Islands in the Bering Strait between Russia to the west and the United States to the east. This territorial demarcation symbolizes a broad array of contests and resolutions that have marked the region‘s modern history. Scholars of Pacific history often emphasize the lure of natural bounty for many of the first non-natives who ventured to Pacific waters. In particular, hunting and trading for fur bearing mammals receives a significant amount of attention, perhaps no species receiving more than the sea otter—originally distributed along the coast from northern Japan, the Kuril Islands and the Kamchatka peninsula, east toward the Aleutian Islands and the Alaskan coastline, and south to Baja California.
