Don't ask me how I end up reading this stuff, but I found it to be quite interesting. I realize it is Wikipedia, but it's been my experience that Wikipedia is usually pretty close to the truth. Anyhow, just wondered if any of you knew more about the story to elaborate or whatnot. Thanks!

I've heard that story before; a similar story, with a somewhat different result, is the famous story of Duncan Campbell of Inverawe:
