Doolittle defends Hiram Paulding (1797-1878) who was relieved of command by James Buchanan for arresting William Walker as he tried once again to regain military control of Nicaragua. Walker had led an expedition to unite the Central American nations under his command, had become preside…nt of Nicaragua, and was then toppled in a revolution. There was much discussion of the legality of Walker's arrest since he was a U.S. citizen in a neutral foreign country. Removed from a larger volume else a very good copy.

Lightly toned throughout, but generally, a reasonable copy. William Walker's episode as president and "owner" of Nicaragua came to an end when Commodore Hiram Paulding, commander of the American Home Sq…uadron in the Caribbean, captured him in December of 1857. Paulding did not have orders to do so (and may well have been acting at the behest of Cornelius Vanderbilt whose interests in Nicaragua were diametrically opposite those of Walker's). President James Buchanan reprimanded Paulding and removed from his command. Senator Doolittle of Wisconsin defends Paulding's actions. Nicaraguan National Bibliography 6047.
