The pig war : How a porcine tragedy taught England and America to share  Cover Image Book Book

The pig war : How a porcine tragedy taught England and America to share / Emma Bland Smith ; illustrated by Alison Jay.

Smith, Emma Bland, (author.). Jay, Alison, (illustrator.).

Summary:

In 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! -- Provided by publisher.
