About This Item
Griffin Bay, 2003. Illustrated. Trade paperback. Like New. 7x5x0. Signed by Author. On July 27, 1859, U.S. Army Capt. George E. Pickettâs Company D, 9th Infantry had arrived on San Juan Island with a mission to protect United States citizens from the British government on Vancouver Island.The reason? An American settler had shot a pig belonging to the Hudsonâs Bay Company. Everyone overreacted, particularly U.S. Department of Oregon commander, Brigadier General William S. Harney, who had issued Pickett his orders.Thus began the "San Juan Imbroglio" of 1859, better known today as the "Pig War." The Pig War: Standoff at Griffin Bay explores how this incident nearly touched off a war between Great Britain and United States.
