Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celebrated historian Barry Gough brings a defining era of Pacific Northwest history into focus in this biography of Richard Blanshard, the first governor of Vancouver Island—illuminating with intriguing detail the genesis and early days of Canada's westernmost province. Early one wintry day in March 1850, after seven weary weeks out of sight of land, a well-dressed Londoner, a bachelor aged thirty-two, stood at the ship’s rail taking in the immensity of the unfolding scene. From Her Britannic Majesty’s paddlewheel sloop-of-war Driver, steadily thumping forth on Imperial purpose, all that Richard Blanshard could make out to port, in reflected purple light upon the northern side, was a forested, rock-clad island rising to considerable height. Vancouver’s Island they called it in those far-off days. This was his destination. Richard Blanshard was only governor of the young colony for three short, unhappy years—only one and a half of which were spent in the colony itself. From the very beginning he was at odds with the vastly influential Hudson’s Bay Company, run by its Chief Factor James Douglas, who succeeded Blanshard as governor of the colony of Vancouver Island and later became the first governor of the colony of British Columbia. While James Douglas is remembered, for better or worse, as a founding father of British Columbia, Richard Blanshard’s name is now largely forgotten, despite his vitally important role in warning London of American cross-border aggressions, including a planned takeover of Haida Gwaii. However, his failures highlight the fascinating struggles of the time—the supreme influence of commerce, the disparity between expectations and reality, and the bewildering collision of European and Pacific Northwest culture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Vancouver's Island: Return to an Address of the Honourable the House of Commons, Dated 7 August 1848, for "Copy of Correspondence Between the Chairman of the Hudson's Bay Company and the Secretary of State for the Colonies, Relative to the Colonization of Vancouver's Island" My Lord, Hudson's Bay House, 7 September 1846. The annual ship of the Hudson's Bay Company to the Columbia and north west coast of America is now loading, and will be ready to sail about the middle of this month. By this opportunity the Company send out their instructions for the information and guidance of the officers in charge of their interests in that quarter. The treaty for the division of the Oregon territory having been concluded, I conceive that all questions respecting the possessory rights of the Hudson's Bay Company, and of all other British subjects who may be already in the occupation of lands or other property, as stated in the 3d Article of the treaty; or respecting the lands, farms and other property of every description belonging to the Puget Sound Agricultural Company, as mentioned in the 4th Article (the whole of which is on the south side of the line of demarca tion viz. Latitude will be referred to the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs; but that questions relating to settlement in the territory on the north side of the boundary line (now exclusively British) will belong to the Colonial Department over which your Lordship presides. Assuming that I am right in this Opinion, I now address your Lordship with the View of ascertaining the intentions of Her Majesty's Government as to the acquisition of lands, or formation of settlements, to the north of latitude 49. The Hudson's Bay Company having formed an establishment on the southern point of Vancouver's Island, which they are annually enlarging, are anxious to know whether they will be confirmed in the possession of such lands, as they may find it expedient to add to those which they already possess. With regard to the question of trade, your Lordship is aware that the Com pany, by a grant from the Crown, dated May 13, 1838, have the exclusive right of trading with the natives of the countries west of the Rocky Mountains for 21 years from that date.

Book excerpt: Gold fever reached the Pacific Northwest in 1858 as thousands of optimistic prospectors crossed the 49th parallel into British territory, passing through "where no man should venture," and hoping to strike it rich. Faced with brutal weather and a lack of supplies, most returned later that same year. Even so, mining continued until simple fur trading posts were transformed into settlements, and finally, into civilization, making the Fraser River experience one of the major developments in Pacific Northwest history.

This book was released on 2024-04-18 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do we combine the areas of intersection between science and indigenous knowledge, but without losing the totality of both? This book's objective is to consider how Indigenous populations have lived and managed the landscape. Specifically, how their footprint was a result of the combination of their empirical knowledge and their culture. The chapters are divided into four groups: The first deals with reintegrating cultures and natural landscapes and the role of kinship and oral tradition. The second group approaches the landscape as a living university of learning and managing, discussing the ethnobotany of how to grow more responsibly, and assess and project the harvest. The third group deals with the managing of fire in an anthropogenic plant community and how to integrate indigenous agriculture in hydrology and dry regions. The fourth group consists of studies of how science and indigenous knowledge can be taught in schools using land-based studies.
