Pickett’s 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 Hudson’s 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. 2003. Griffin Bay ISBN 0963456253 9780963456250 [US]
