ALASKAN BOUNDARY TRIBUNAL – Proceedings of the Alaskan Boundary Tribunal. Convened at London, under the treaty between the United States of America and Great Britain, concluded at Washington, January 24, 1903, for the settlement of questions ... with respect to the boundary line between the territory of Alaska and the British possessions in North America. Washington: Government Printing Office, 1904. A complete first edition set of the proceedings of the Alaskan Boundary Tribunal between Great Britain and the United States. Because of the lack of exact geographic knowledge, establishing the precise boundaries of Alaska was a complicated and long-standing task. When the US bought Alaska from Russia, the boundaries negotiated with Great Britain in 1825 had to be negotiated yet again. In 1903, the Alaskan Boundary Tribunal set the boundaries in favor of the United States over Canada, leading to a surge in Canadian nationalism spurred by anger at what they felt was Britain favoring America over their own colonial holding. The exact borders of Alaska were not completely surveyed and established until 1952. Ricks p. 6; Wickersham 9373. Seven volumes, octavo (240 x 133mm) with three folio atlases (476 x 388 mm). Text: 4 plates, 2 of which folding; atlases: 109 large maps, many of which are in color. The Atlases are the Case and Counter Case of the United States (47 maps ); Case and Counter Case of Great Britain (37 maps); and Atlas of Award Showing the Line Fixed by the Tribunal (25 maps)..Original maroon cloth with title gilt on spine; Atlas of Award in original half leather over marbled boards. Provenance : Ripon College Library (bookplates and stamps) – PBA Galleries.
