Description:	This volume makes clear how Boundary Survey field teams struggled to fix the international border between Canada and the United States along the 49th Parallel, running west from Lake of the Woods to the Pacific Ocean. The volume employs letters written to their respective families by participants on either side of the binational undertaking. Both were "Assistants" in their country's field staffs. Joseph Harris was an American in the field from 1857 to 1861, while Samuel Anderson was a Canadian who participated in the first phase of the survey between 1859 and 1862.
