vi Mackenzie’s Voyages

largely from Robert Greenhow’s Historical and Political
Memoir of the North-West Coast of America, New York,
1840; and his History of Oregon and California, and other
Territories on the North-West Coast of America, New
York, 1845.

The writer acknowledges the many courtesies extended
to him by Mr. E. S. Robinson, the librarian of the Vancouver
City Library, who freely placed the library’s valuable collec-
tion of material relating to the North-West Coast, and the
fur-trade in Canada, at his service; his thanks are also due
to Mr. J. Forsyth, the Provincial Librarian, Victoria; to
His Honour, Judge F. W. Howay, for permission to quote
from his writings; to Mr. A. J. C. Nettel of the Vancouver
Office of the Geological Survey; to Mr. J. E. Umbach,
surveyor-general, Victoria; to Mr. Iver Fougner, Indian
Agent, Bella Coola; to the University of California Press
and the University of Chicago Press for permission to
quote from their historical publications; and to the following
for photographs: the Geological Survey, Ottawa; the North-
West Territories and Yukon Branch, Ottawa; and Lt.-Col.
H. St. J. Montizambert for a rare photograph of the view
observed by Mackenzie in the lower Parsnip valley on
5 June, 1793; and to the Topographical Branch of the
Department of the Interior, Ottawa, for excellent maps of
the Athabasca and Mackenzie Rivers.

A bibliography will be found in Appendix E. This, how-
ever, is only a brief indication of the wealth of material
relating to the subject of this book.
