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.

  • Cole, Douglas. Sigismund Bacstrom's Northwest Coast Drawings and An
    Sigismund Bacstrom's Northwest Coast Drawings and an Account of his Curious Career DOUGLAS COLE Among the valuable collections of British pictures assembled by Mr. Paul Mellon is a remarkable series of "accurate and characteristic original Drawings and sketches" which visually chronicle "a late Voyage round the World in 1791, 92, 93, 94 and 95" by one "S. Bacstrom M.D. and Surgeon." Of the five dozen or so drawings and maps, twenty-nine relate to the northwest coast of America. Six pencil sketches of northwest coast subjects, in large part preliminary versions of the Mellon pictures, are in the Provincial Archives of British Columbia, while a finished watercolour of Nootka Sound is held by Parks Canada.1 Sigismund Bacstrom was not a professional artist. He probably had some training but most likely that which compliments a surgeon and scientist rather than an artist, His drawings are meticulous and precise, with great attention to detail and individuality. He was not concerned with the representative scene or the typical specimen. In his native portraits he does not tend to draw, as Cook's John Webber had done, "A Man of Nootka Sound" who would characterize all Nootka men; Bacstrom drew Hatzia, a Queen Charlotte Islands chief, and his wife and son as they sat before him on board the Three Brothers in Port Rose on Friday, 1 March 1793. The strong features of the three natives are neither flattered nor romanticized, and while the picture may not be "beautiful," it possesses a documentary value far surpassing the majority of eighteenth-century drawings of these New World natives.

  • James Hanna and John Henry Gox: the First Maritime Fur Trader and His Sponsor
    James Hanna and John Henry Gox: The First Maritime Fur Trader and His Sponsor W. KAYE LAMB and TOMÂS BARTROLI The clocks, watches, jewellery, and mechanical novelties that delighted the mandarins in Canton and Peking in the late eighteenth century have a modest place in the history of the maritime fur trade. For it was these "singsongs," as they were known locally, that brought to China the man who not only sponsored the pioneer expedition of James Hanna to Nootka in 1785 but also was involved in Hanna's second venture and in the better- known voyages of John Meares, Charles Barkley, James Colnett, and others in the crucial years that followed. The man in question was John Henry Cox, son of James Cox, a cele­ brated watchmaker and jeweller of Shoe Lane, London, who had been the major supplier of "singsongs." In 1766, "by order of the East India Com­ pany," James Cox had made two huge and bejewelled clocks of great complexity that the company had presented to the Emperor of China.1 Memory of this transaction may have benefited John Henry when he asked the East India Company for permission to go to Canton. Permission was granted, and he was in China by 1781.

  • THE MARINE PEREGRINES of the NORTHWEST PACIFIC COAST by FRANK L
    THE CONDOR VOLUME 62 MAY-JUNE, 1960 NUMBER 3 THE MARINE PEREGRINES OF THE NORTHWEST PACIFIC COAST By FRANK L. BEEBE INTRODUCTION It haslong been known that a populationof the PeregrineFalcon (FaZcoperegrinus) achievesdensities along the northwestcoast of North America that are far in excessof thoseconsidered usual for the species.This populationhas been describedas consisting of a distinctsubspecies, Falco peregrinus pealei. In the past ten yearsI have had oppor- tunity to collectdata from muchof the Canadianportion of the rangeof this subspecies, and my life-history observationsare reported here. These are supplementedby notes of other observers,particularly thosewho have had experiencealong the outer coastof British Columbiaand Alaskaand have visitedcertain islands and areasthat are not yet known to me. Due to the rather limited range of the subspeciesin Canada,this paper may well suggestmore questionsthan it answers,questions that must await final solu- tion by field workersin Alaska. Observationson detailsof range and subspecificchar- acters stop just at the point where they becomemost interesting,and in this regard certain inferencesmay be drawn and someareas for further investigationsuggested. While mostof the observationshave beenmade on wild birds,reference will be made to behavior,molt, and hunting techniquesof so-called“captive” birds that were taken for observationas fledglingsand eventually trained and flown as hunting falcons.Lest the validity of observationsof suchbirds be questioned,any data relating to them are clearly statedas such.It is my opinion,however, that the behaviorof suchbirds is prob- ably as natural as that of wild birdswhen they are awareof the presenceof an observer. Field work and expeditions.-This accountis basedon field work begunin 1949 and extendingto 19.58.In that time many pointsalong the northwesterncoast were visited.

A major N topic in the scholarly reassessment of the Columbian voyages has been their effects on the Native inhabitants of the Americas. We now know that, within a few generations of Columbus, several vir­ ulent diseases native to the Eastern Hemisphere were introduced to "virgin soil" American Indian populations. Most caused heavy mor­ talities, which cumulatively resulted in a hemispheric population decline of unprecedented magnitude.1 The most deadly of these "new diseases" was smallpox.

Department The University of British Vancouver, Canada DE-6 (2/88) Abstract This dissertation investigates the ways visitors to Haida Gwaii (sometimes called the Queen Charlotte Islands) have written about the islands. I argue that accounts by visitors to Haida Gwaii fashion the object that they seek to represent. In short, visitors' stories do not unproblematically reflect the islands but determine how Haida Gwaii is perceived. These perceptions in turn affect the actions of visitors, residents and governments. I contribute to that representational process, striving to show the material consequences of language and the ways discourses shape Haida Gwaii.

  • Introduction
    Introduction But surely even you must know of Colnett; everybody knows of Colnett. – Patrick O’Brian, The Far Side of the World The conclusion of the American War of Independence in 1783 signalled a sub- stantial restructuring of trade and politics in the Atlantic world. Nowhere were the realignments more necessary than Britain, where military defeat and loss of empire were compounded by the emergence of the United States as a new economic and geopolitical competitor. In this uncertain conjuncture imperial and commercial eyes turned to Asia and the Pacific with renewed interest. Here, Captain James Cook’s third voyage (1776-80) had delineated a variety of prom- ising trading opportunities.1 Among the possibilities was a three-cornered trade, linking the Atlantic world with China via the medium of resources on the Northwest Coast of America. Sea otter pelts provided the initial impetus, but the Northwest Coast also offered, according to one enthusiastic account, the possibility “of establishing an important fishery, of supplying the China and India markets with masts, yards, timber, and most kinds of naval stores.”2 Such views, in the decade and a half following Cook’s visit of 1778, helped make the Northwest Coast, although remote and poorly understood in European nations and the United States, the focus of considerable geopolitical competition. The earliest responses to Cook’s third voyage came from Spain and Russia, the two countries with prior territorial claims on the Northeast Coast of the Pacific. Spain, which had made two previous sorties to the region, sent two vessels northwards from San Blas in 1779.
