“Truth is stranger than fiction and it is a little known fact that, less than one hundred years ago, an armed, though not official force from the United States, invaded Canadian territory and killed up to one hundred of her citizens… This amazing and incredible story reads more like a lurid, wild-west tale from the imaginative pen of a fiction writer rather than sober fact. For an affair of its size which took place in comparatively recent times it is remarkable how little is known of what actually happened.” - George Shepherd (1967)
