Summary:

A free-ranging pig that caused an international war; a year's crop of ginseng that paid off a mortgage; and a breachy cow that led to a bloody murder. Farming in the San Juan Islands has always presented challenges and opportunities. From Coast Salish camas cultivation through homesteading to commercial farming, explore the islands' rich agricultural history in the landscape and farms of today. -- from publisher's description
