From Library Journal
Hayes, a resident of Vancouver, BC, and a map researcher and collector for over 25 years, has produced a unique cartographic documentation of the history of the Pacific Northwest. He has assembled 325 contemporary color maps, ranging in date from 1569 (a Mercator map) to 1919 (a Poole Brothers map) that together trace the discovery, exploration, settlement, and geopolitical evolution of the region now encompassing Alaska, British Columbia, Oregon, Washington, and the Yukon Territory. The accompanying text discusses colonial rivalries among the Spanish, British, Russians, and Americans; and highlights specific explorers who influenced the course of events. A complete catalog of the maps, with sources, is provided. This fascinating study is highly recommended as a reference tool for all libraries with cartography collections, particularly those with a special interest in the history and heritage of the region.AEdward K.

"Derek Hayes's book is both a research tool and an adventure story. It should delight scholars and casual readers alike."
Reader Reviews
Ok, so I love maps and I live in the area, but this is still a rightly highly-acclaimed wonderful piece of work! Map fans will love it; locals will love it; others will learn (many) things from it. As well as the maps themselves, you also get a sweeping series of historical vignettes associated with each map. The least you'll get from it is the sheer joy of looking at a fantastic collection of wonderful old maps!
