Description:
Toronto, ON: University of Toronto Press, 2001. Soft cover. Very Good. Clean, tight, unmarked; very minimal wear; appears unread; In this detailed and fascinating book, Francis Carroll tells 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. This book is the first to explain thoroughly the Herculean efforts of the surveyors and crews working for the four boundary commissions set up by the Treaty of Ghent (1814). Filled with the politics and intrigues of the time, the book brings to life a remarkable, rambunctious period in the diplomatic and political history of both Canada and the United States, which led, almost miraculously, to establishment of the longest undefended border in the world.
