"The Oregon Territory, Its History and Discovery" by Travers Twiss is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This work explores the complex history and political negotiations surrounding the Oregon Territory, highlighting key events, expeditions, and disputes between the United States and Great Britain over territorial claims. Twiss aims to clarify historical narratives and claims made by both sides in these negotiations. At the start of the book, the author outlines his motivation to investigate the historical facts regarding the Oregon Territory, claiming that the United States' position has often been overstated in previous treatises. He emphasizes the importance of accurate historical records, particularly referencing early navigators such as Sir Francis Drake and Michael Lock. The beginning sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the geographical, political, and commercial developments in the region, while also hinting at broader themes of discovery and national sovereignty that will unfold throughout the text.
