Nicaragua's Walker Filibuster Saga Retold by Baker Survivor
Chicago's F. M. Baker recalls the Walker filibuster in Nicaragua from 1855, describing battles at Granada, Rivas, and Virgin Bay, the siege of Capt.

The piece contrasts U S attitudes then and laments foreign dominion fears amid Latin American politics.
