Book Description
James Colnett, a veteran of James Cook's second voyage to North America, was an early participant in the maritime sea otter trade. Between 1786 and 1789 his two-vessel expedition traversed the Northwest Coast from Prince William Sound to Vancouver Island and wintered on the Hawaiian Islands. Along the way, he and his crew had some remarkable encounters with Native peoples of the Northwest Coast and the Hawaiian Islands: they were the first Europeans to encounter the Tsimshian and the southern Heiltsuk peoples as well as the first to land on the southern Queen Charlotte Islands. Colnett's journal of this expedition is published here for the first time. Editor Robert Galois provides extensive annotations, along with an introductory essay addressing the geopolitical context of the voyage and the intellectual background that shaped the writing of the journal. Galois supplements Colnett's writings with extracts from a second journal -- also previously unpublished -- by Andrew Bracey Taylor, third mate on one of the ships under Colnett's command. Also included are illustrations from Colnett's journals and a variety of maps, both contemporary and historical. This fascinating and informative account offers a new understanding of the early European presence in the Northwest and of Native responses to these developments. It will interest historians, geographers, and ethnographers of the Northwest Coast and beyond.

Book Description
In this volume is brought together practically all that is known concerning the voyages made by the Spaniards along the California and Oregon coast line between 1539 and 1602. The series opens with an account of the epochal voyage of Ulloa in 1539, and this is perhaps the most interesting record in the entire volume. The compiler has been able to reproduce Ulloa's original journal, has furnished an adequate translation, and has thus brought into full relief what has hitherto been one of the most elusive and tantalizing episodes of early exploration.The body of the volume closes with an account of the project to found a settlement at Monterey, as a result of the report and recommendation of Vizcaino. The notes, appendixes, and other explanatory matter with which the volume terminates are so copious and so necessary for the adequate interpretation of the text that one questions whether it would not have made the work more useful and convenient for the student, to have bound them in a separate volume or placed them in a portfolio. The collection and interpretation of these interesting records represents the highest type of historical research work, and the volume can be most cordially recommended to the student or general reader
