Abstract

"In [1924], speaking before the Pacific Northwest Library Association, [F.W. Howay] made reference to this rare publication which he had never seen and of which no copy appeared at that time to be extant. His words proved to be a challenge to several collectors of books and so diligent did their search become that four copies of the first edition have now become available... To Judge Howay more than anyone else must be given the credit for bringing to light one of the principal documents of Pacific Northwest history."
