With this in-depth study of how the boundary between Canada and the United States of America came to be drawn, Francis M. Carroll won The Dafoe Book Prize and the Albert Corey Award of the American historical Association/Canadian Historical Assocation.
In this detailed and fascinating book, Francis Carroll rells the story of the attempts to settle the original boundary between British North America and the United States. Though established by the Treaty of Paris in 1783, the boundary was plagued by ambiguities and errors in the document. The border stretched over twenty-five hundred miles, from New Brunswick and Maine to the St. Lawrence River, through the Great Lakes, and from Lake Superior to the Lake of the Woods. It was steadily filling with people of competing interests - Loyalists and Yankees, fur traders and soldiers, Europeans and First Nations peoples and became a major focus of Anglo-Canadian-American relations for almost sixty years.
The author's extensive research draws on manuscript materials never used for the subject before. - from the blurb.
