 ==Map re BC Coast== 
 I note the map shows the Anyox-Prince Rupert area as part of the North-Western Territory; I'm unaware of this; the Colony of BC's northward limit, by previous treaties with the Russians, was the southern limit of the Panhandle at 54-40.  What's the basis for the boundary shown on the map?  Also to note that I think the abandoned Fort Durham and Fort Stikine had been nominally under the Columbia Department and so were theoretically, if only briefly, part of the Columbia District, until Gov. Simpson ordered their closure; part of the Columbia Department at least, if not the Columbie District; they weren't part of the New Caledonia ""administration"" which hadn't at that time been extended to the Coast.
