This volume presents the official views of the United States Commissioners regarding the Alaska boundary, specifically as defined by the Treaty of 1825 between Russia and Great Britain, which later became relevant to the United States following the Alaska Purchase. The work meticulously examines the historical context, treaty language, and geographical considerations that informed the American position on the boundary's demarcation.
Featuring detailed arguments and justifications, "Views of the United States' Commissioners on the Alaska Boundary" offers invaluable insights into the complexities of international boundary disputes and the diplomatic strategies employed by the United States in asserting its territorial claims. It is essential reading for historians, legal scholars, and anyone interested in the history of U.S.-Canadian relations and the enduring legacy of nineteenth-century territorial negotiations.
