There needs to be a proper reference and link to the Dixon Meares controversy where George Dixon, 1748-1795 emerged the victor.

The Dixon-Meares Controversy- Containing, Remarks on the Voyages of John Meares, by George Dixon, An Answer to Mr. George Dixon, by John Meares, and Further Remarks on the Voyages of John Meares, by George Dixon | Washington Historical Quarterly

Home / Archives / Vol 21 No 1 (January 1930) / Book Reviews

Walter N. Sage

Abstract

"The controversy sheds light on the early days of the Maritime fur trade. Meares was an important figure in the trade and his Voyages were widely read and are still to be found in libraries. Dixon has shown that Meares was incapable of telling a consistent story. The three pamphlets are, therefore, a necessary commentary on the Voyages."
