About this listen
What happens when two nations can't agree on a border, and valuable timber is at stake? Get ready for the Aroostook War (1838-1839), a near-conflict between the United States and Great Britain over the dense forests of northern Maine. This "war" involved thousands of militiamen, fortified camps, and plenty of bluster, but remarkably, no bloodshed. Find out how diplomacy saved the day in this fascinating tale of lumberjacks, ambiguous treaties, and international brinkmanship.
