John Palliser (
January 29,
1817 – August 18, 1887) was an Ireland-born
Canada geographer and List of explorers. Born in Dublin, Ireland, he was the son of Colonel Wray Palliser, a brother of Major Sir William Palliser (1830-1882) and a direct descendant of Dr
William Palliser, Archbishop of Cashel (1644-1726).
From 1839 to 1863, Palliser served in the military and became a Captain in the Waterford Militia. He was also Sheriff of Waterford. His first hunting expedition was in 1847 in the American West. It was during this time, Palliser wrote
Solitary Rambles and Adventures of a Hunter in the Prairies, which was published in 1853. He travelled back to United States as leader of the
Palliser Expedition, which travelled over the uncharted regions of the far west of North America between 1857 and 1861. He made a topographical delimitation of the boundary between Canada and the United States, from
Lake Superior to the coast of the
Pacific Ocean. He was assisted by astronomer Lieutenant
Thomas Blakiston of the
Royal Artillery, botanist Eugene Bourgeau, and geologist Dr
James Hector.
His travels took him to
Canada, exploring a few rivers:
He returned to
Ireland in 1862 and presented his findings to the British Parliament. The information contained in his survey was instrumental in the ending of the Hudson's Bay Company's ownership of Rupert's Land (lands encompassing all tributaries to
Hudson's Bay) with the Deed of Surrender in 1869. While Palliser is credited with opening up a new era of settlement and development in the Canadian West, his warnings about the unsuitability to agricultural development of the area now known as
Palliser's Triangle went unheeded. Palliser reported that the region, in Southeastern Alberta and Southwestern Saskatchewan, was too arid for farming. The area was nevertheless settled for farming, but was devastated in the Dust Bowl drought.Collier, Michael and Webb, Robert H.; "Floods, Droughts and Climate Change," pp. 9-11, University of Arizona Press, 2002
There were rumours he was working on behalf of certain Caribbean islands and the Confederate states in America but there is no evidence he was a spy.
In
1869 he travelled to
Novaya Zemlya in Russia with another brother,
Frederick Palliser aboard the ship
Sampson.
Palliser never married and retired to Ireland, where he spent the rest of his time caring for his family. He died at his house, Comeragh House, in County
Waterford, Ireland in 1887 and was named a Companion of the Order of St. Michael and St. George (CMG).
The
Fairmont Palliser Hotel in Calgary, Alberta is named for him.
