4.0 out of 5 stars
The definative work on the 1700's PNW fur trade,
By mason@avatarinteractive.com (Seattle, Washington) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hail, Columbia!: Robert Gray, John Kendrick, and the Pacific Fur Trade (North Pacific Studies Series) (Paperback)
Scofield digs deep into hard-to-find journals and letters from the voyages of the Amercian fur trading vessels Columbia Rediviva and Lady Washington. His colorful descriptions of the meanderings of the two boats paints a vivid portrait of life aboard a trading ship along the mostly-uncharted coast. Most impressive here is Scofield's insight into the men who pressed on with arrogance and greed to find fortune in the Otter fur trade circle of the late 1700's.

Excellent history of early American trade and shipping,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hail, Columbia!: Robert Gray, John Kendrick, and the Pacific Fur Trade (North Pacific Studies Series) (Paperback)
Excellent history of a little-known and fascinating chapter in early American maritime and trade history on the Pacific coast. Kendrick's and Gray's expedition helped spark Jefferson's interest in the west; their exploits were precursors to Lewis and Clark. Lively and full of interesting anecdotes, particularly of Kendrick's activities.
