Life is wonderful because there is always more to learn! I had never heard of the San Juan dispute or how the British and Americans dwelled there together.
My thirteen-year-old spied this book lying on our ottoman. The intriguing title lured him to read it independently.
When Lyman Cutlar spies a pig uprooting his potatoes, his temper overtakes him, and he shoots the pig. The owner was British Charles Griffin. He did not accept Mr. Cutlar's apology or payment. Instead he demanded an outrageous price. Soon government officials and military leaders became involved. Another war between the Americans and the British was about to erupt. The dispute was resolved by even-tempered leaders, showing that arguments can be settled without bloodshed.
*Highly recommend. Now I want to visit the San Juan Islands!
-Borrowed from the library.
