内容説明 ?At the Far Reaches of Empire? is a career biography of Spanish naval explorer and administrator Juan Francisco de la Bodega y Quadra. Bodega voyaged to the Northwest Coast in 1775 and 1779, where he commanded coastal exploration, befriended Chief Maquinna, and met with George Vancouver to settle the Nootka Sound controversy between Spain and Britain.Bodega y Quadra’s accomplishments place him in the company of Bering, Cook, Vancouver, La Perouse, and Malaspina. Freeman Tovell’s thorough and nuanced study presents this ?gentleman officer? of Spain’s Enlightened Navy as a key participant in the history of the Northwest Coast and adopts a positive view of Bodega’s achievements. As a Peruvian criollo, Bodega challenged the European image that Creoles lacked the patronage connections necessary to achieve success in the Spanish Navy. Throughout his career, Bodega exhibited drive, initiative, and dogged determination that forced his superiors to recognize his accomplishments. The book concludes with revelations about Bodega’s private life, including his debts, tragic illness, and death.As the most complete study of Bodega and his epoch, this book will be of interest to historians and others interested in Spanish and maritime history and exploration, BC history, and Northwest Coast First Nations history.
