Then considered America's "longest war", an armed standoff between US
and British troops on San Juan Island was part of a larger border

war began when a US settler shot a Hudson Bay Company pig, but very
few people actually know how the war ended. Find out how the
Confederate Navy played an important role in the crazy political drama

Good article Chuck and nice job with the electronic formatting of the
magazine - looks good and is highly readable.

We still have fond memories of our trip to San Juan Island and the
Roche Harbor Resort, just wish we'd had more time. We met a nice
group of folks at the marina who offered to take us out for a sail on
their Catalina 50 but we had to pass because of our tight schedule.
