And at the time I thought that so far as he was concerned it was a true story.Home is the Spaceman by George O. Smith - Enright was coming home, which should have been good, since he was the first Earthman ever to go faster than light. But when he'd been gone eighteen months in a ship that was supplied for only ten days, the authorities were just a trifle curious....The Man From Time by Frank Belknap Long - The method by which one man might be pinpointed in the vastness of all Eternity was the problem tackled by the versatile Frank Belknap Long in this story.

  It’s 1859. The British and Americans coexist on the small island of San Juan,  
  located off the coast of the Pacific Northwest. They are on fairly good terms— 
  until one fateful morning when an innocent hog owned by a British man has the  
  misfortune to eat some potatoes on an American farmer’s land. In a moment of  
  rash anger, Lyman Cutlar shoots Charles Griffin’s pig, inadvertently almost  
  bringing the two nations to war. Tensions flare, armies gather, cannons are rolled  
  out … all because of a pig! 
  Emma Bland Smith’s humorous text brings to life this true story of how two great  
  nations once almost went to war—but learned to share instead.
