Excerpt from Report of the Joint Select Committee of the Senate and House of Representatives, of the State of Maine, in Relation to the North-Eastern Boundary of the State
Plied from the forest surrounding it. When I was at St. John's two years ago, I was informed, that in consequence of the remonstrance made to the Brit ish Minister at Washington, by our Government, against the practice of granting permits for cutting timber from the public lands, a messenger from Eng land had been sent to St. John's, who passed up to the head of the river, and on his return, declared the Americans to be right, in the construction of the treaty relative to the boundary line, and order ed a step to be put to granting permits, and all those issued for the Winter of 1825 - 6 were recal led. I was much gratified at hearing this, and be lieving at that time an adjustment might take place, thought it best to proceed no further in making deeds. The excitement has progressed with the people on the frontiers regularly to the present time, and I believe the personal interest of Major Fraser (who has several farms on the banks of the river, within the disputed territory, and is a member of the Province Assembly,) as also of said Wilmot and Peters, have prevented by their influence, an hon ourable adjustment, and kept the people in a fer ment.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. Drawn from the historical record, this book studies the Maine-New Brunswick boundary dispute and the negotiations prior to the 1783 Treaty of Paris. The author examines the background of several US regions pertinent to the case, and delves into British territorial claims. The text explores the complexities of treaties, land grants, and the shifting alliances of the period. The author's goal is to present a comprehensive and nuanced perspective on a topic often clouded by misconceptions. By clarifying the arguments and intentions of both sides, the author sheds new light on a significant chapter in US diplomatic history, one that reveals the intricacies of international negotiation and helps us understand the foundations of the modern US-Canada border.
