Historical Bevie, XXIX (1924):681-699, clearly shows that only the region
between the Columbia and the Forty-ninth Parallel was really in contest in
1846, appreciably diminishing the diplomatic iganieance of the pioneer settle-
ment south of that river. The English relinquishment of the region south of the
Columbia, however, shows that England maintained no claim beyond the south-
ern limit of Oregon set by the treaty of 1819. And the fact still remains that
the pioneers, encouraged by the strengthening of the United States' title in
that treaty, put the area between the Forty-second Parallel and the Columbia
beyond diplomatic bargaining.
