Three extremely rare pamphlets published as part of the intense spat between Captains Dixon and Meares comprise this volume, with an informed and insightful introduction by Howay. Dixon and Meares commanded respective vessels in the nascent fur trade, both arriving at the Northwest Coast in the summer of 1786. Meares was, in effect, poaching, inasmuch as he was a British citizen serving British merchants living in India -- yet he was sailing under a Portuguese flag -- a transparent effort to sidestep the monopolistic right of the East India Company to trade in the Pacific. Howay called this salvo "an inky conflict in the tradition of Addison v.

One can imagine the scuttlebutt in the clubs and coffee houses of Boswell's London: "Now, where were Dixon and Meares when this took place.…
