Synopsis

This book analyzes the historical and present relationship between America and Great Britain, specifically concerning the Oregon boundary dispute. At the time the book was written, talks had stalled between the two nations with tensions escalating. The author delves into the legal technicalities of discovery, settlement, and international treaties. With the Oregon boundary dispute as their central case study, the author examines how these terms define ownership and rights to govern. They provide a comprehensive review of the relevant events and claims made by both nations, and examine the foundational principles of international law to determine the validity of these claims.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Article by Mr. Field, published in the United States Magazine and Democratic Review, June, 1845. THEO regon is a tract of country on the western side of the New World, principally watered by the river Oregon, or Columbia, and its tributaries. It extends from 42 of north latitude to 54 40 ,and from the Pacific eastward, five or six hundred miles, to the ridges of the Rocky or Oregon Moun tains. The name is taken from the river which, long before its actual discovery, had been supposed to exist beyond the moun tains, and which was first called the Oregon by Jonathan Car ver, of Connecticut, who traveled in the interior of the continent in 1766. How he got the name, or whether he invented it himself, it is impossible, at the present day, to determine. The stream was not actually seen till 1792, many persons until then believing it to be fabulous. The name, however, remained, and is now not only applied to the country from which its waters are gathered, but, as the name of the river itself, is Married to immortal verse, in ... the continuous woods Where rolls the Oregon, and hears no sound, Save his own dashings. This country is traversed by ridges of lofty mountains. The shores are bold and high, in many parts mountains rising im mediately from the sea.
