Originally published in 1859, the author was a former American Vice
Consul in Nicaragua. Some of the press comments of the time were:
"The work pursues a natural order - overlooking nothing of interest
- giving glowing accounts of the country, its scenery and resources
- doing justice to the history of the country and its revolution
and leaders, and present inhabitants. ..." - Independent
Civilian"During the filibustering career of Walker, he was a
resident of Nicaragua, and saw many of the movements of the
belligerents. His information is copious and thorough. The style is
clear and lively, and the reader finds no difficulty in taking in
the scenes described, and the events related. Whoever is interested
in the affairs of Nicaragua, will find this book an indispensable
necessity." - Philadelphia Dispatch
