Remnant Nicaraguan Filibuster Tale Of Dad Baker
The Chicago survivor known as Dad Baker recalls the Walker filibuster expedition to Nicaragua. He narrates the crossing from Darton Ohio to Independence Missouri across the plains, battles with natives, and his near-death in California before allying with Walker. Baker details Anderson’s heroic stand at Realejo, Granada’s brief capture, and Walker’s rise and fall, ending with his final fate in Honduras.
