    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.

      You thought she was crazy yet only knew the pig shooting part of the story? Time we learned the whole truth. Did Lyman chase down the pig and shoot it despite offering him 3 wishes or was the pig a 20th century gangster that died on a dare? :D
      Both answers are acceptable, either answer is too but it has to be at least one of the two.

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.
