My grandparents lived on San Juan Island, so every summer we'd visit on vacation. My grandma was obsessed with The Pig War, so much so that she built a building and created a Pig War Museum. She had old mannequins and wax figures dressed up as the primary people. When we'd visit she have us dress up as some of the characters. We have a picture of my younger sister dressed up as the pig and my dad as Lyman. I always thought she was crazy. At the time I only knew the pig shooting parts of story. She never went into the insane amount of politics that surrounded the incident. Thanks for helping me revisit my childhood.

Winfield Scott was a fantastic general and actually one of the most decorated in United States history, however by the time of the Civil War he was simply to old to contribute.

One source says that the pig pushed its way through the fence, which if you’ve ever seen a massive hungry pig doesn’t sound too far fetched.
