One historian says of him: “He was as brave a man as ever lived, and wasted his Iife trying to achieve what was Impossible!” wy “alker was the son of a Nashville (Tenn.) banker, But he was not cons tent to follow in his father’s steps, In fact he did not know what he want- ed todo, The spirit of unzest was in his blood. He left college in 1838 when he wa, only fourteen and entered a law echool; then travelled for years in Europe, taking a course in medicine and studying literature. Coming home, he tried his hand at practising law; did not like it; and took up newspaper work, Drifting from place to place he at last became editor of the San Franclsco Herald, But nothing he attempted gave him the excitement he craved, In 1853 Walker's chance came, The Apache Indians had a way ot rald- ing Southern California, then escaping safely Into Mexico, To stop this prace tlee Walker proposed to form a little colony on the Sonora fronticr of Mexico, With 170 men and threg large cannon he slipped unnoticed out of the port of San Francisco and land@a at La Paz, in Lower Californla, There, annexing Son- ora, he declared the region a republic with himself as its president. For @ time it looked as though his daring plot would sud- ceed. But an overwhelmingly large force of Mexl- cans was massed against him; many of his follows ers deserted; and food and money ran short. 30, fleeing before the troops of Mexico, Walker escaped Into California and surrendered to the United States Government authorities at San Diego, He was placed on trial for violating neutrality laws, But public sentiment was with him and he was soon set free. The moment he was released Walker looked about for new felds of adventure, His choice settled on the republic of Nicae tagua. That country was then In the throes of civil war, The leader of the revolutionary party sought Walker's aid, Walker made no secret of the fact that he was going to Nicuragua, He took along fifty-six recruits he had col- lected In Tennessee. He dodged the law by declaring he and his men were merely going to Nicaragua to colonize @ tract of land that had been granted them, Landing In the little republic on June 16, 1855, he was reinforced by 100 hative revolutionists, Without wasting a day, Walker launched his handful of volunteers against the governmental troops, In the first fight he was defeaced with a loss of elghteen men, But he went back at once to the attack. With 170 revolutionists he beat the government army, 500 strong, at La Virgen; then laid siege to the city of Granada and forced {t to surrender, Having accom- Pilshed this feat, Walker had himself declared the republic's commander-in- chief and its Secretary of State. This was but the first step, The second was quick to follow. Gen, Corral, leader of the opposition, threatened to be a stumbling block in the American's path. Walkér accused Corral of treachery, presided over hie court martial and had him shot’ New recruits from the United States, learns ing of the revolution's success, kept pouring into Walker's camp. Costa Rica resented the adventurer's presence in Nicaragua and declared war on him. Walker was beaten in the first battle, but won the second, and brought the war to an end, No one was left to dispute his mastery of Nicaragua. So he had Limself elected President of the republic and persuaded the United States to recognize his envoys, The Tennessee soldier of fortune had reached the pin+ nacle of success, His fall was soon to come, and was brought on by his own tolly and greed. In September, 1866, Walker proclaimed slavery throughout Nicaragua, Slavery had long ago been abobished there, and by causing {ts return the new President made many enemies. This was one cause of his downfall. The other was his demand for money from vartous United States commercial firms doing business in Nicaragua, When, in the case of a large steamship company, this demand was refused, Walker revoked the company’s charter and confis- cated its property. The company's agents proceeded to stir up the people against Walker. The surrounding countries, who hated and feared him, joined in inciting the revolt. Soon a strong insurrection was afoot. Walker fought hard to retain his power, but was beaten in battle after battle. Finally he burned Granada to prevent the city’s capture by the enemy, and on May 1, 1867, fled to a United States warship for refuge. He was carried to Now Orleans and there was put under bonds to keep the peace. But {n November of the same year he went again to Nicaragua with 132 men to win back his presidency. Commodore Paulding, of the United States Navy, forced him to surrender and carried him a prisoner to Washing- ton, D.C. There he was freed, and promptly set out on still another expedition for Nicaragua. He was caught at the mouth of the Mississipp! and made te give up the project. Two years later, In Juno, 1860, Walker went with a small body of men te Honduras to start a revolution there, He captured Truxtllo and issued @ pro- clamation against the Government. This time Great Britain took a hand tn the game. The captain of the British warship Icarus madé him surrender and turned him over to the Honduras authorities for punishment. A hasty court martial sentenced Walker to death (even as he had sentenced Corral), and on Sept. 12, 1860—In his thirty-sixth year—he was shot.
