[EAN: 9781331642732], New book, [PU: Forgotten Books, United States], Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****. Excerpt from Letters and Papers Relating to the Alaska Frontier During the last years of the nineteenth century, the Canadians began to claim more and more forcibly territory on the coast of Alaska which had always been considered as part of the United States, until finally there seemed to be danger of a clash between American and Canadian miners in their search for gold in the region of the Chilkat River. In 1899, Great Britain grew very anxious for an exact delineation of the boundary in that locality, because of the growing troubles in South Africa, and the modus vivendi of October 20, 1899, between the United States and Great Britain, arranged for a temporary boundary around the head of the Lynn Canal. The United States withdrew her posts at three points and Canada advanced hers correspondingly. It was the United States that made all the concessions in this arrangement and in so doing it acted most generously toward the British Empire, for on October 11, 1899, war had begun in South Africa between the English and the Boers, and Britain was in an awkward position.
