Fort Defiance (British Columbia) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Fort Defiance (British Columbia)
Fort Defiance was a small outpost built by the crew of the ''Columbia Rediviva'' for use as winter quarters during 1791-1792 on Meares Island in present-day British Columbia, Canada. They were under the command of American merchant and maritime fur trader Captain Robert Gray. ==History== In early August 1791, John Kendrick had arrived in Clayoquot Sound and bought land from Wickaninnish in exchange for firearms. The land was near the native village of Opitsaht. By the time Gray arrived on the ''Columbia Redivia'' in late August for trading, Kendrick had fortified a small island and given it the name Fort Washington. Kendrick soon left for China, while Gray remained for the winter. For most of the winter relations with Wickaninnish and his people were good. On Christmas Day Wickaninnish and a number of other chiefs dined aboard the ''Columbia'', and on New Year's Day, the Americans were entertained onshore by the natives.
