It's 1859. The British and Americans coexist on the small island of San Juan,
located off the coast of the Pacific Northwest. They are on fairly good terms-
until one fateful morning when an innocent hog owned by a British man has the
misfortune to eat some potatoes on an American farmer's land. In a moment of
rash anger, Lyman Cutlar shoots Charles Griffin's pig, inadvertently almost
bringing the two nations to war. Tensions flare, armies gather, cannons are rolled
out … all because of a pig!
Emma Bland Smith's humorous text brings to life this true story of how two great
nations once almost went to war-but learned to share instead.
