Hogging The Headlines: The Pig Wars

In 1859, an American shot a pig that belonged to the Hudson's Bay Company. Suddenly the U.S. and British Empire were on the brink of war once again. Over the years, tales about the conflict have been embellished and conspiracy theories were invented. But behind the folklore is a story of peace, diplomacy, and how we make meaning out of history.

One of the more curious chapters of Washington State history was the incident known as The Pig War. The name seems a bit of a whimsical misnomer, since only one shot was fired in anger, and its victim was a hog. Nevertheless, it resulted in a military confrontation between Great Britain and the United States that might have led to war between the two countries, nearly half a century following the last armed clash in 1812, had not calmer heads on both sides of the Atlantic prevailed. A friend of mine, Paul Thompson (the former owner of Gentleman Gene's Pub in Mount Vernon), recently shared a story his father had written about The Pig War for a 1961 edition of the Washington Wonderland magazine. Paul was born and raised on San Juan Island, the scene of the story I'm about to relate. It's a story that has particular sentimental value to Paul, and I share it both to honor his dad's memory as well as to entertain you with an interesting piece of Pacific Northwest history. Here then is “The Pig War — A Hoggish Matter,” by Allen Thompson.

The killing of a British pig on an island off the coast of Northwestern Washington almost started a war between two of the world's greatest military powers. 100 years later, a local artist commemorated the Pig War with a one-woman show, a troupe of mannequins, and a taxidermied pig. Learn more about Steve Lyons' play: https://www.lyonswrites.com/plays.html#

Do you have a favorite sports team? Barry does. It's the Cleveland Browns. He loves them. That's weird enough but in this episode, Barry tells us the far weirder story of a war that broke out between El Salvador and Honduras in 1969 where the catalyst was a soccer game. Then, Crissy turns the clock way back to the1859 when there was almost a war between the United States and the future country of Canada over a pig that just couldn't stay away from a farmer's delicious potatoes.

In 1859, the United States & Great Britain were on the brink of war. This conflict arose after an American farmer, Lyman Cutlar, shot a pig belonging to an employee of the Hudson's Bay Company, a British-owned business, which was grazing on his property. This event escalated into a full-blown military standoff between American and British forces, with both sides sending troops to the islands. Crazily enough, this insane incident was ended all thanks to the efforts of...the Kaiser of the German Empire? Listen now to hear the full story! - History For Weirdos Feature!

For hundreds of years, Canada and the United States have been each others closest neighbours, strongest allies, and largest trading partners... except for all the times they were at each others throats. The Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the Pork and Beans War, and the Pig War -- 50% actual wars, 50% backwoods hijinks. This past is one far more recent than one might think, including two declassified documents from the early 20th century -- Defense Scheme One and War Plan Red.

How to Grieve: From Cicero and Stoicism to Modern practices, How Can Philosophy HELP US Handle Loss? Panel DiscussionIn 45 BCE, the Roman statesman Cicero fell to pieces when his beloved daughter, Tullia, died from complications of childbirth. But from the depths of despair, Cicero fought his way back. In an effort to cope with his loss, he wrote a consolation speech―not for others, as had always been done, but for himself. And it worked.Cicero's Consolation was something new in literature, equal parts philosophy and motivational speech. Drawing on the full range of Greek philosophy and Roman history, Cicero convinced himself that death and loss are part of life, and that if others have survived them, we can, too; resilience, endurance, and fortitude are the way forward.This panel discusses the revelations of Cicero's consolation and how they relate to both the ancient philosophy of Stoicism and modern behavioral cognitive therapy... all with the aim of finding a better understanding on how to grieve.Watch eminent professors and authors, Michael Fontaine, Massimo Pigliucci, and Donald Robertson for this thought-provoking, important conversation. About the Speakers:Michael Fontaine is Professor in the Department of Classics at Cornell University, New York and author of many books and articles, including: How to tell a Joke, The Pig War, How to Drink: A classical Guide to Imbibing, and most recently, How to Grieve: An Ancient Guide to the Lost Art of Consolation.Massimo Pigliucci is the K.D. Irani Professor of Philosophy at the City College of New York and author of many books, including How to Be a Stoic: Using Ancient Philosophy to Live a Modern Life... and most recently, How to Be Good: What Socrates Can Teach Us About the Art of Living Well. Donald Robertson is a writer, cognitive-behavioral psychotherapist and trainer, specializing in teaching evidence-based psychological skills and is the president of Plato's Academy Center.  Donald is the author of several books and many articles on philosophy, psychotherapy, and psychological skills training, including How to Think Like a Roman Emperor: The Stoic Philosophy of Marcus Aurelius, and his most recent project, Verissimus: The Stoic Philosophy of Marcus Aurelius, a graphic novel has just been released.Anya Leonard is the Founder and Director of Classical Wisdom, a site dedicated to bringing ancient wisdom to modern minds.

A border conflict between the U.S. and Britain, combined with the ambitions of a future Confederate general, almost turned the Salish Sea into a war zone. The so-called Pig War of 1859 may have been initiated by the killing of a boar, but other forces were at play that nearly elevated a neighborly conflict into an international conflagration.  The conflict took place on San Juan Island, a disputed territory that was home to both American and British colonists. And on the American side was a future Confederate general eager for conflict. Crosscut's resident historian Knute Berger told the tale of the conflict in a recent episode of his Mossback's Northwest video series, but there is more to the story. For this episode of the Mossback Podcast, Berger and co-host Sara Bernard talk about the conflict's roots, how close the countries came to all-out war and how cooler heads prevailed. Before listening, we suggest you watch the Mossback's Northwest episode about the Pig War here.

Mike Vouri is an author and historian and and chief of interpretation and historian for the San Juan Island National Historical park for years before he retired. He has written 3 books about the Pig War and co-written two books about San Juan Island. The new edition of his book “The Pig War: Standoff at Griffin Bay” was released by WSU in April.I invited Mike on because not only is he just an interesting guy with an interesting story, he probably knows more about the history of the San Juan Islands than anyone else on earth, and specifically the story of the almost war between Great Britain and the United States over the boundary line between their two countries in the 1860's  and what lessons that moment has for us now.

This is the story of the Pig War. A battle with only one casualty, the pig who started it. This story, told by the pig, gives the details on how a confrontation between two men and a pig created the boundary line between the United States and what would eventually become Canada in the Pacific Northwest.

It's June 19th. This day in 1859, a skirmish on the San Juan Islands over a pig that intruded on a farmer's potato crops leads to an argument, which leads to a diplomatic crisis, which almost leads to a war between the US and Canada.

Tasty & point, harshin' my meth mellow and dispensary drops + this day in history w/the Pig War and our song of the day by Dan Allen on your #MorningMonarchy for June 15, 2022.m

On July 24, 1857, the Latter-day Saints learned – in the middle of the 10th Anniversary Celebration – that President Buchanan had ordered an Army to the Utah Territory.  Though they did not know what the Army's mission or the intent behind the expedition, they learned that the expedition was to be led by William Selby Harney – and the choice of Harney portended the very worst.  In his council, Brigham Young called for a vote on a rather shocking proposal.  He wrote in his journal, “It was carried unanimously that if Harney crossed the south pass the buzzards should pick his bones.” But who was General Harney?  Why was his appointment as commander so significant?  Why did it provoke such outrage and desperation from Brigham Young and other Church leaders?  We explore that and more on this episode of Adventures in Mormon History.     This episode discusses Harney's history in the Mexican American War, and his heroism during the Battle of Cerro Gordo, the eagerness with which he hanged the deserters and traitors of the Saint Patrick Battalion (or San Patricios), the ruthlessness he showed in the Ash Hollow Massacre, and the depravity with which he murdered the enslaved young woman, Hannah, in Saint Louis in 1835.  By 1857, "Squaw Killer Harney" had become infamous.  The Latter-day Saints reacted to word of his appointment with outrage and shock.  They assumed that, under Harney, they would fare no better than the Saint Patrick deserters in the Mexican War, or the Lakota Sioux at Ash Hollow.  They began making preparations for war.  This episode also includes a recorded rendition of the long-forgotten Latter-day Saint folk song, "Squaw Killer Harney is on the Way."  I realized that it would, in the long run, be less embarrassing to record the song myself than to get someone who could actually sing.  To learn more about the start of the Utah War, please check out these (excellent!) sources:  William MacKinnon, At Sword's Point: A Documentary History of the Utah War (Vol. I and II) (2016).  MacKinnon's work on the Utah War is nothing short of phenomenal.  They are available on Google Books to anyone interested.   Also, I drew on the Forward to Volume I written by Will Bagley.  Wilford Hill Lecheminant, A Crisis Averted?  General Harney and the Change in Command of the Utah Expedition, 51 Utah Hist. Quarterly 1 (1983).Thomas E. Cheney, Mormon Songs From the Rocky Mountains: A Compilation of Mormon Folksong (1968).David L. Bigler, A Lion in the Path: Genesis of the Utah War, 1857-1858, 76 Utah Hist. Q. 1, 5 (Winter 2008), available at https://issuu.com/utah10/docs/uhq_volume76_2008_number1.In this episode: Brigham Young, George A. Smith, William Selby Harney, Asa Calkin, Jefferson Davis, P. T. G. Beauregard, Mexican American War, Bloody Kansas, Ash Hollow Massacre, Logan Reives, Saint Patrick Battalion, San Patricio Battalion, Battle of Cerro Gordo, Utah Expedition,  the Pig War of 1859.

On the other hand, he also led Germany's chemical weapons programme in World War One. The left hand giveth, the right hand taketh away... Next, Sam's been looking at the Pig War of 1859, in which Britain and the US nearly went to war over a potato patch. Subscribe and listen to us!

History is replete with wars with strange names.  Take, for instance, the War of the Oaken Bucket, fought in 1325 between Bologna [Beau – loan – ya] and Modena [Mold – din – uh] that involved 40,000 men in which 2,000 died in battle.   And the War of Jenkins Ear between England and Spain that ran from 1739 to 1742 and is chronicled in the 2nd volume of Stories from History's Dust Bin.    And how about the War of the Stray Dog in 1925 between Greece and Bulgaria, that began when a Greek soldier inadvertently chased a stray dog into Bulgarian territory and was shot dead – the soldier, not the stray dog – and the fight was on.           Stories from History's Dust Bin is a 3-volume set of historical short stories.  These are the nuggets of gold that had fallen by the wayside… the little known and unusual.  Many of these gems were destined to be forever lost until they were collected, dusted off and brought back to life by author Wayne Winterton.   Each podcast episode features one of over 450 short stories from either Winterton's Award-Winning Stories from Dust Bin series* or the companion volume, From Ace to Zamboni: 101 More Dust Bin Stories, as narrated by either the author or his son, William, or daughter, Jana.   If you enjoy today's episode, please leave us 5 stars and a glowing review on iTunes!  And if you don't want to wait a whole week to hear another story from the Dust Bin, consider picking up the books on Amazon (either downloadable or good ol' fashioned ink and paper).   The Entire History's Dust Bin Collection Is Available On Amazon: https://amzn.to/3bDrip4

In 1859, a small island off the coast of Washington state was the site of a war almost no one has heard of. It lasted 12 years, involved 5 British warships, 14 American cannons, 34 uncooperative sheep tossed into rowboats, and General George Pickett. And in the end, it sustained only a single causality: a pig. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Over the course of history, humans have fought over land, honor, wealth, and religion.  But perhaps the oddest, and dumbest war which almost ever broke out between two major world powers….was over a pig.  A single pig.  Learn more about the British-American conflict known as the Pig War, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Today’s episode gives us a few lessons on restraint. The aptly named Pig War nearly saw an argument over a slaughtered swine lead to a full-scale conflict between the United States and Great Britain. The controversy began in 1859 on San Juan Island, a chunk of land located between the mainland United States and Vancouver Island. At the time, the island was home to American settlers and British employees of the Hudson’s Bay Company, and both parties had laid claim to its fertile soil. The first and only shots of the Pig War came on June 15, 1859, when an American farmer named Lyman Cutlar gunned down a British-owned black boar after he discovered the animal rooting through his potato patch. The ensuing argument over the dead hog increased tensions between the two groups of settlers, and Cutlar was eventually threatened with arrest. After the Americans reported the incident to the military, the U.S. Army dispatched Captain George Pickett—later a Confederate general during the Civil War—to San Juan with a small complement of troops. Pickett upped the ante by declaring the whole island U.S. property, and the British responded by sending a fleet of heavily armed naval vessels to the coastline. An absurd standoff ensued, and the situation remained on a knife-edge for several agonizing weeks. The two nations would finally negotiate a deal allowing for joint military occupation of San Juan Island in October 1859, ending the Pig War as a bloodless stalemate—save for one unfortunate hog. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/dointhething/message

For our 35th episode, Seth found a bunch of stories of animals that wandered into some of mankind's most deadly conflicts. We talk about a pig that almost started a war between the US and Britain, a bear that developed some very troubling habits on the front lines of WW2, and Andrew finally tells us about his remake of Peter Jackson's remake of King Kong.

This week we take a look at an article called "Thwarting Southern Schemes and British Bluster in the Pacific Northwest" by James Robbins Jewell. The author contends the Pig War, which we covered in our fourth episode, was meant to divert troops out west during the build-up to the Civil War. Further, he discusses British plots for taking over a large chunk of the Pacific Northwest, as well as how the Brits were encouraging pro-Southern sympathies among the Southerners living in B.C. and Vancouver. And of course, we can't do a Civil War episode without speculating on how our old friend Jeff Standifer was connected to all of this.  Special thanks to Angie Davis at the Idaho State Archives.

We’re all familiar with the historic events that led to the American Revolution, when the American Colonies seceded from rule by Great Britain. Somewhat less well known are the reasons behind the second war between England and the U.S…the War of 1812. But it’s unlikely you can find very many people who can tell you about the third war between these two superpowers, which took place – or, more accurately,Read More

Empires, amirite? There's nothing like an international pissing contest to stoke the fires of patriotism. There's also nothing new about world powers finding it impossible to back down, even when the cause of conflict is completely stupid. This week, the guys jump whole hog back to the time that the US and Britain came to the brink of war over the death of a single farm animal. You heard that right. The Pig War of 1859 stands as an immortal testament to a simpler time, when rival armies could taunt each other in strongly-worded letters all week, but still get together for church every Sunday. As you listen, spare a thought to the real victims--the poor sheep, who just want to exercise in peace.

In this short episode, we take a quick look at two of the oddest military fights in world history. First, we examine the Pig War between the U.S. and the U.K. over the death of a pig. And second, we look at the Football War, where a soccer match between Honduras and El Salvador is the spark that kicks off a fierce four-day war between the two countries. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/nutshell-politics/support

The death of a pig on an obscure island in the Pacific Northwest caused an international crisis in 1859 that nearly led to war between the most powerful empire on earth and the rising industrial North American power.
