The Oregon Territory, Its History and Discovery

The Oregon Territory, Its History and Discovery, written by Travers Twiss and first published in 1628, provides a detailed historical account of the Oregon Territory's exploration and the political negotiations between the United States and Great Britain. Twiss critiques previous narratives, asserting that the U.S. position has often been exaggerated, and emphasizes the importance of accurate historical records. The book discusses key events, expeditions, and the broader implications of discovery and national sovereignty in the context of the Oregon question and territorial claims.
