Historical Dictionary of the Discovery and Exploration of the Northwest Coast of America tells of the heroic endeavors and remarkable achievements, the endless speculation about a northwest passage, and the fighting and manipulation for commercial advantage that surrounded this terrain. This is done through an introductory essay, a detailed chronology, an extensive bibliography, modern maps and selected historical maps and drawings, and more than 400 cross-referenced dictionary entries. Entries cover the native people; scientists and artists; the numerous voyages taken by such men as Vitus Bering, James Cook, Juan Francisco de la Bodega y Quadra, and George Vancouver; overland expeditions, such as those of Alexander Mackenzie, Simon Fraser, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, and David Thompson: and maritime fur traders, including George Dixon, Grigorii Shelikhov, Robert Gray, and William Sturgis. No other dictionary is dedicated solely to the coverage of this region.
