For nearly three years, he had been  immersed in the aftermath of the Nootka Crisis of 1789, a dispute  between Britain and Spain over sovereignty in the North Pacific. He was  journeying north as his government’s commissioner to hand over  Spanish-occupied territory at Nootka. This book offers the first  published English translation of Bodega’s journal, a remarkable account  of his travels along the Northwest Coast of America, encounters with  Native peoples—most notably, Chief Maquinna—and the friendship that  developed between Bodega and his British counterpart, George Vancouver.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUntil  now, Bodega’s journal has been available only in Spanish publications  or in manuscript form. This much-needed English-language edition results  from the collaboration of three preeminent scholars of the Pacific  Northwest, who provide an in-depth introduction and extensive footnotes  that make the translation accessible to a contemporary audience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlso  included in this edition is a generous selection of Bodega’s original  charts and illustrations created by the artists who worked with JosÉ  Mariano MoziÑo and JosÉ Maldonado, two scientists who—at Bodega’s  insistence—accompanied him on his expedition to Nootka.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Oklahoma Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52716601278744,"sku":"9780806192239","price":18.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/voyage-to-the-northwest-coast-of-america-1792-juan-francisco-de-la-bodega-y-quadra-and-the-nootka-sound-controversy-paperback-softback-9780806192239","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
