The The Longest Boundary: How the US-Canadian Border's Line came to be where it is, 1763-1910 (Consolidated edition)

A consolidated eBook of Volume one and Volume two of The Longest Boundary by John Dunbabin.

These volumes are firmly based on primary sources but written in a way that should appeal to the general reader as much as to specialised historians. Its chief actors are politicians and administrators, but there is a range of others, extending from First Nations chiefs to goldminers, railway entrepreneurs, prophets, and policemen. In the concluding chapter the book's general historical approach is supplemented by assessment of the main perspectives of international relations theory. Finally, attention is drawn to small anomalies created by the boundary line.
