"Europe’s first contact with the
Pacific Northwest, and how it all went wrong."
Motivated by the prospect of quick riches, explorers
and merchants from around the world began a race to Nootka Sound. The details
were laid out so clearly in Captain James Cook’s journal, and the premise
sounded so simple: sail to the remote American coast, trade valuable furs for
trinkets, then sell the furs in China at a huge profit. Unfortunately, the
truth turned out to be far more complex. More than storms and hardship at sea,
the traders faced two additional adversaries—the defiant people who resided
there and the Spanish who claimed the same land as their own. Amid this
tumultuous race for riches and military supremacy, four Wolves with their
destiny tied to Nootka Sound—George Vancouver, James Colnett, Juan Francisco
Bodega y Quadra and Mowachaht tyee Maquinna—battle forces destined to push the
world to the brink of war. This second book in The Wolves of Nootka series
follows these forces and the men behind them.
