| dc.description.abstract | This study, then, will constitute an investigation of the history of northwestern America's most important fishery. Certain of its problems and events which have proved pertinent to the history of Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, and Alaska, as well as to that of the larger social , economic and political patterns of which they are an integral part, will not be neglected. In accordance with nature I s arrangement of marine life for this coast and because of the palates she has given men, the salmon have sustained the greatest fishery in the region and, indeed, now support the most valuable fishery in America. As such the industry is treated here. The history of salmon fishing techniques will be included and discussed in detail because the writer has had some experience in their use both in the coastal states and Alaska. In any case the "how" of human enterprise would seem to reveal much about the "what" and the "why". | |
