Astorians and the Oregon Trail
John Jacob Astor and his Pacific Fur Company had a profound affect on America’s westward expansion. Many historians write that Astor's attempt to establish a trading empire on the Pacific Coast was a dismal failure. In one sense it was, but look at what the Pacific Fur Company and the Astorians accomplished. Within in a two year period, the Astorians established trading posts on the Columbia, Willamette, Okanogan, Spokane, and Snake rivers, and another Astorian, Robert Stuart traveled over South Pass and most of what would become the Oregon Trail. These fur trading posts, especially Okanogan, and the Oregon Trail were major factors in the boundary between the United States and Canada being at the forty-ninth parallel, instead of the Columbia River as the British wanted.

British Newspapers and the Oregon Treaty of 1846 by Thomas C. McClintock
Whatever may hereafter be said of the precise terms upon which the Oregon controversy has been settled, there can be but one feeling of satisfaction throughout the two great nations which are thus restored to amity and peace at the termination of a dispute which had threatened to sacrifice some of the principal interests of the civilized world for the sake of one of the least important tracts upon the surface of the globe.

Canadian Museum of Civilization: Expanding Horizons — Pacific Gateway
This exhibition takes a look at the important role Vancouver has played over the decades as a transportation hub and port of entry for new Canadians. Starting from the era of huge ocean liners such as Canadian Pacific's great Empress line – represented by a large builder's model of the Empress of Asia – the exhibition takes us up to the jet age, when "Winged Empresses", a Canadian Pacific fleet of aircraft, began to bring many travellers to and from Vancouver. http://www.civilization.ca/hist/phase2/mod10e.html
