Canada and the Oregon is a historical book written by Catherine Parr Strickland Traill in 1846. The book provides a detailed account of the Oregon boundary dispute between the United States and Great Britain in the early 19th century.

The book begins by providing background information on the Oregon region, including its geography, climate, and native inhabitants. Traill then delves into the history of the dispute, which began in the late 1700s and continued until the signing of the Oregon Treaty in 1846. She discusses the various diplomatic efforts made by both sides, as well as the role of key figures such as John McLoughlin and James K. Polk.Throughout the book, Traill also provides insights into the social and cultural differences between the United States and Great Britain, and how these differences influenced the dispute. She also discusses the impact of the dispute on Canada, particularly on the fur trade and the economy.Canada and the Oregon is an important historical document that provides a unique perspective on the Oregon boundary dispute.
