By Juan De Fuca's Strait: Pioneering Along The Northwestern Edge Of The Continent is a book written by James G. McCurdy. The book is a historical account of the exploration and settlement of the Pacific Northwest region of North America. The author focuses on the Juan de Fuca Strait, which separates the Olympic Peninsula of Washington State from Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. The book covers the period from the late 1700s to the early 1900s, when European explorers and settlers first arrived in the region. It includes stories of the indigenous peoples who lived in the area, as well as the Spanish, British, and American explorers who came to the region in search of wealth and adventure. The author also describes the challenges faced by the early settlers, such as harsh weather, difficult terrain, and conflicts with the indigenous peoples. He also highlights the achievements of those who persevered, such as the establishment of trading posts and the development of the region's natural resources. Overall, By Juan De Fuca's Strait is a fascinating and informative account of the history of the Pacific Northwest. It provides insight into the people and events that shaped the region, and is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of North America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
