The Northwest Boundary is a historical book written by William Henry Seward in 1868. The book is divided into three parts. The first part is a discussion of the water boundary question, which refers to the dispute between the United States and Great Britain over the boundary between the United States and Canada in the Pacific Northwest. The second part is a geographical memoir of the islands in dispute. This section provides a detailed description of the islands and their physical features, including their topography, flora, and fauna. The third part of the book is a history of the military occupation of San Juan Island, which was the site of a conflict between the United States and Great Britain in 1859. Seward, who was the Secretary of State under President Abraham Lincoln, was a key figure in the negotiations that led to the resolution of the boundary dispute. The Northwest Boundary is an important historical document that provides insight into the political and territorial disputes that shaped the Pacific Northwest region of the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
