Four men emerged as key players who would shape the future course of the northwest coast of the American continent-Royal Navy officer George Vancouver, merchant vessel captain James Colnett, Spanish Navy officer Juan Francisco Bodega y Quadra and the Nootka tyee Maquinna. Drawing on historical journals and records, John Kimantas brings their stories to life. Against the backdrop of the American and French revolutions, epic voyages criss-cross the globe in a series of swashbuckling adventures, not as fiction, but as the events actually occurred. These were the Wolves of Nootka- ambitious, capable but often wildly unpredictable men who fought nature and one another to stake their place in history.\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat people are saying: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eFor anyone fascinated by maritime history, early contact on the northwest coast, or the human drama behind world events, this book offers an absorbing and richly textured journey.\u003c\/i\u003e\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e-Goodreads review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Kimantas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798245479385\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/04\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 374\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.83d","brand":"John Kimantas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48801273184511,"sku":"9798245479385","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-wolves-of-nootka-book-john-kimantas-9798245479385","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
