35-xx-xx ep14Captain George E Pickett

Frontier Fighters! Frontier Fighters! Breathtaking moments in the heroic lives of men who dared at one,

men who fought in triumph in their fight for the West. Long remembered will be the names of Lyman A. Cutler and Captain George E. Pickett, who janky kept the stars and stripes flying over San Juan Island in the Harrow Straits when danger threatened the sovereign rights of the United States.

In the summer of 1859, among those who dwelled on San Juan Island in the Harrow Straits was one Lyman A. Cutler, an American farmer. He planted some potatoes from which he hoped to realize a good profit.

Charles A. Griffin, representative of Hudson's Bay Company, had a pig who developed an appetite for Cutler's potatoes. Mr. Griffin, Mr. Griffin, I want to talk to you. Well, Mr. Cutler, what is it? I've asked you a dozen times to keep your pig out of my potato pot.

Why don't you try keeping the potatoes out of the pig? That's just no laughing matter. I've got a fence around my property, which that pig doesn't seem to respect. I owe you a high-lem respect.

Besides, it's property is American soil. Oh, is it? And I consider that Maraudin pig of yours a trespasser. No more a tespouser than all you American farmers. This is really a pretty soil you're all poaching on.

That's a lie. Now get that pig of yours out of my garden and get them out quick. And if I don't... I'm gonna throw them out this time. Here you go, Porgon. Just a minute, where you go?

You got quite a temper, Mr. Cutler. I know my rights. I intend to protect him. The next time I find your pig in my garden... Yes, Mr. Cutler. There may be potatoes in his stomach, but he'll have an apple in his mouth.
