Fortune’s a River: The Collision of Empires in Northwest America, by Barry Gough

“Fortune’s a River – The Collision of Empires in Northwest America is an excellent, exhaustively researched book that offers reading only for the stout hearted among us or those who never quite got enough of wading through factual texts in college. Author Barry Gough tackles the labyrinthine subject of how British Columbia became British Columbia and part of present day Canada while Oregon, Washington and Alaska eventually wound up as part of the United States.” Read the review at the California Literary Review.
