1 map: col., 21 x 50 cm. <br>Henry Warre was sent by the British government to visit Northwest America and make notes on the area from a military point of view. At the time, America and Britain were engaged in a very unfriendly conflict as to the exact location of the American-British border. <br>The routes of Warre's party are shown on the map here, with the red his journey out and the blue his return journey. They spent six months in the Pacific Northwest in 1845. Warre brought along his watercolors, and has provided us with a number of sketches of the area of his travels. <br>By the time Warre and party returned to Montreal and had their reports forwarded to England, the British government had already decided to settle on the 49th parallel as the area's border.
