  • The Persistent Potato
    The Persistent Potato We did not know about this tasty potato until we moved to the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State. Now it is established in our garden where the plants produce small, slender, and somewhat gnarled, pale, yellow potatoes. They are especially delicious when roasted and keep well throughout the winter in our cool garage. Flavorful Ozette fingerling potato INTRODUCTION In recent years, eighteenth century Spanish sailing incursions into the inland seas of the Pacific Northwest have been the subject of increased scholarly research, but in the past little if anything was taught in schools about the presence of Spanish ships north of the 45th parallel. Even fewer in-depth studies were made of the cultures of the people who had for thousands of years made the rim of the north Pacific their home. In hindsight, the impact of the European newcomers, initially few in number, was far-ranging, not only for its political intrigues and influence on the lives of the local indigenous people, but in a very practical way. The Spanish came not so much for conquest (except for that which involved competition for land with their European and American counterparts) but rather for trade. However, this primary objective implied a secondary one — permanence. Land-based occupation, whether with permission or not, was part of the Spanish intent, as they sought to extend their nation’s presence north of their California base. For both the purpose of trade, as well as the option of establishing enduring settlements as directed by their King, the Spanish brought provisions that could support more than a season or two in the northern latitudes.

Los dos últimos mantuvieron un fascinante pulso diplomático en el que la monarquía española tenía las de perder por la herida de gravedad que la reciente Revolución Francesa había provocado a su gran apoyo du- rante el siglo XVIII: el Pacto de Familia.

GENEIS OF THE II BRITISH EMPIRE AND THE FALL OF SPANISH UNIVERSALISM: RECON- SIDERING THE NOOTKA CONFLICT OF 1790 ABSTRACT: The Nootka-Sound affair is a great opportunity to analyse international relationships during the first phase of the French Revolution as well as the emergence of the contemporary concept of colonialism. The Spanish Monarchy and its long-established family alliances within the House of Bourbon had to face a new diplomatic environment in which Great Britain and revolutionary France had a dominant role.

  • Spain's Withdrawal from Nootka Sound, 1793- *795 GHRISTON I
    Retreat from the North: Spain's Withdrawal from Nootka Sound, 1793- *795 GHRISTON I. ARCHER The concluding act of the Nootka Sound Controversy took place on 28 March 1795, when representatives of Spain and Britain met at Friendly Cove (Yuquot) on the isolated Northwest Coast. The meeting ended a drama which had threatened to submerge the European powers in a major conflict. For historians, as well as for contemporary observers, the ceremonial raising of the Union Jack, followed by the departure of the military garrison from New Spain's most northerly outpost, marked the end of an epoch. Remarkably, however, the record of what took place during the last days of Spanish Nootka has not been published until the present. In 1917 when the British Columbia historian, Judge Frederick H. Howay, described the withdrawal from Nootka in an article for the Washington Historical Quarterly, he lacked the archival data to explain what had taken place. Instead, he added a colourful, if completely fanci­ ful, final scenario.1 As the Spaniards sailed away, the abandoned build­ ings remained as the only sign of civilization's touch. Immediately the Indians reoccupied their summer village site and in their search for scraps of metal and iron nails smashed all vestiges of European habitation. Howay described them "like ghouls"2 exhuming coffins from the grave­ yards to find nails suitable for fish hooks. No recent historian questioned the lack of documentation for this information. Indeed, when Warren L. Cook researched his volume Flood Tide of Empire: Spain and the Pacific Northwest, I543~i8ig (New Haven, 1973), he found no evidence to dispute Howay.

Sager, Department of History Departmental Member Dr. Patrick A. Dunae, Department of History Departmental Member In the years between 1789 and 1792 the shores of what is now British Columbia were opened to European scrutiny by a series of mostly Spanish expeditions. As the coastline was charted and explored by agents of European empires, the Pacific Northwest captured the attention of Europe. In order to carry out these explorations the Spanish relied on what turned out to be an experiment in ‗gentle‘ imperialism that depended on the support of the indigenous ―colonized‖. This thesis examines how the Spanish envisioned their imperial space on the Northwest Coast and particularly how that space was shaped through the exploration of the Salish Sea.

  • Ka'iana, the Once Famous "Prince of Kaua'i3
    DAVID G. MILLER Ka'iana, the Once Famous "Prince of Kaua'i3 KA'IANA WAS SURELY the most famous Hawaiian in the world when he was killed in the battle of Nu'uanu in 1795, at the age of 40. He was the first Hawaiian chief who had traveled abroad, having in 1787-1788 visited China, the Philippines, and the Northwest Coast of America. In China, according to Captain Nathaniel Portlock, "his very name [was] revered by all ranks and conditions of the people of Canton."1 Books published in London in 1789 and 1790 by Portlock and Captain John Meares about their voyages in the Pacific told of Ka'iana's travels, and both included full-page engravings of the handsome, muscular, six-foot-two chief arrayed in his feathered cloak and helmet, stalwartly gripping a spear (figs. 1 and 2). Meares, on whose ships Ka'iana had sailed, captioned the portrait as "Tianna, a Prince of Atooi" (Kaua'i) and made Ka'iana "brother to the sovereign" of Kaua'i, a central character in his narrative.2 In the early 1790s, it was Ka'iana whom many foreign voyagers had heard of and sought out when visiting the Hawaiian Islands. Islanders from Kaua'i to Hawai'i knew Ka'iana personally as a warrior chief who had resided and fought on the major islands and who shifted his allegiance repeatedly among the ruling chiefs of his time. Today, when Ka'iana is remembered at all, he is likely to be David G. Miller, a Honolulu resident, has been researching biographical information on Hawaiian chiefs and chief esses, particularly lesser-known ones.

Spain's claims Spain's claims date back nearly 300 years to the papal bull of 1493, which, along with the following Treaty of Tordesillas, defined and defined the zone of Spanish rights exclusively to Portugal. In relation to other states, the agreement was legally ineffective (res inter alios acta). Spain interpreted it in the broadest sense of the word, revealing that it had granted them full sovereignty. Other European powers did not recognize Inter caetera, and even Spain and Portugal adhered to it only when it was useful and convenient. Britain's claims to the region were dated to sir Francis Drake's journey in 1579, as well as the right of pre-opening by Captain James Cook in 1778, although the Spaniards explored and claimed the region in 1774, under Juan Perez, and in 1775, under Bruno de Hecet and Bodege and Kvadra.

  • The French Revolution
    The French Revolution ‘This is more than a history of the French Revolution. It covers all Europe during the revolutionary period, though events in France naturally take first place. It is particularly good on the social and intellectual back- ground. Surprisingly enough, considering that Lefebvre was primarily an economic historian, it also breaks new ground in its account of international relations, and sets the wars of intervention in their true light. The French have a taste for what they call works of synthesis, great general summaries of received knowledge. We might call them textbooks, though of the highest level. At any rate, in its class, whether synthesis or textbook, this is one of the best ever produced.’ A. J. P.

  • George Vancouver and the Contemplated Settlement at Nootka Sound1
    Robert J. King GEORGE VANCOUVER AND THE CONTEMPLATED SETTLEMENT AT NOOTKA SOUND1 George Vancouver (1757-1798) has been justly celebrated for the exhaustive and authoritative survey he undertook during 1792-1794 of the North West Coast of America, that is, of the intricate coasts and offshore islands of present day Washington, British Columbia and Alaska. This he and his ship’s company achieved overcoming the great privations attendant on operating in a severe climate far beyond the support of friendly ports, and for him personally in deteriorating health from the disease that caused his untimely death less than three years after the completion of his voyage. It should also be acknowledged that Vancouver carried out his survey oppressed by the apprehension that he might be thought to have been blameworthy for failing in the other task he had been assigned, that of receiving back from the Spanish commander at Nootka Sound land and property that had been confiscated from English fur traders in July 1789 and of establishing a formal British presence there to support and promote the fur trade. Proposals to establish a British colony on the North West Coast had been discussed in commercial and official circles in the 1780s, encouraged by the success of the project to colonize Botany Bay and Norfolk Island. During the war crisis with Spain that resulted from the arrest of the English fur traders at Nootka Sound, plans were made for a small party of convicts and marines to be sent from New South Wales to make a subsidiary settlement on the North West Coast: one of the ships to be used for this task was to have been the Discovery, which Vancouver afterwards commanded during his expedition.

Students of Northwest Coast history and cultures have more reasons for enthusiasm about this publication than Keats had about Chapman’s Homer, since it is not merely a language barrier that has been transcended by Iris Wilson’s translation of Mozilio’s eighteenth century Spanish, it is every kind of textual, historical, and ethnographic difficulty that would otherwise stand in the way of the complete utility and enjoyment of this extraordinary document. Noticias de Nutka is largely ethnographic reporting which, although of a rudimentary observational character, nonetheless forms an invaluable record of the first period of contact in the area. Moziiio’s account is based upon his sojourn in Nootka Sound for four months in 1792 as the scientist (botanist-naturalist) of the expedition of Bodega y Quadra.
