Re: David Porter, "Incidents and Anecdotes"

I have a copy of the book, and when I get by my office will look and see if this story is in there. You should be warned, however, that David Porter was notorious for making up tales that portrayed himself as a hero. An account by Porter is meaningless with corroborating evidence. He tells really good stories, and it is extremely tempting to quote him, but he was your basic pathological liar.
