Описание: In the decade before the onset of the Civil War, groups of Americans engaged in a series of longshot--and illegal--forays into Mexico, Cuba, and other Central American countries in hopes of taking them over. These efforts became known as filibustering, and their goal was to seize territory to create new independent fiefdoms, which would ultimately be annexed by the still-growing United States. Most failed miserably.
William Walker was the outlier. Short, slender, and soft-spoken with no military background--he trained as a doctor before becoming a lawyer and then a newspaper editor--Walker was an unlikely leader of rough-hewn men and adventurers. But in 1856 he managed to install himself as president of Nicaragua. Neighboring governments saw Walker as a risk to the region and worked together to drive him out--efforts aided, incongruously, by the United States' original tycoon, Cornelius Vanderbilt.
William Walker's Wars is a story of greedy dreams and ambitions, the fate of nations and personal fortunes, and the dark side of Manifest Destiny, for among Walker's many goals was to build his own empire based on slavery. This little-remembered story from US history is a cautionary tale for all who dream of empire.

Описание: Excerpt from Explorations and Adventures in Honduras: Comprising Sketches of Travel in the Gold Regions of Olancho, and a Review of the History and General Resources of Central America; With Original Maps, and Numerous Illustrations The journey of which the following pages form a diary, afterward somewhat elaborated by facts collected in Honduras, was conceived in California in 1853, and based upon reliable information, which since 1851 had been placed at my disposal, regarding the gold regions of Central America. Its principal Object was a reconnoissance of that part of the republic of Hon duras known as Olancho, which in 1850 had been visited by a gentleman now residing in New York, and by him, on his re turn, represented to be another California, equaling the new El Dorado in auriferous deposits, and excelling it in, position and accessibility.

Описание: Cuando en la madrugada del 28 de junio me llamaron para informarme del Golpe de Estado que estaba en ejecuci n, yo no lo pod a creer. Como todos en el pa s, pensaba que los golpes de estados eran acciones desesperadas del pasado, cre a que hab a un m nimo de inter s en los grupos de poder de fortalecer y preservar la institucionalidad por la que la sociedad hab a trabajado m s de 30 a os. -Frente a la presidencial se est agrupando la gente -me dijeron-, este golpe lo vamos a revertir. Tom mi c mara de v deo y me fui a la Presidencial, para tomar notas, para vivir ese acontecimiento in dito en nuestra historia. As naci este libro. Originalmente estas cr nicas fueron publicadas por los canales electr nicos: Facebook, hablahonduras.com, redes de correo electr nico y reproducidas en Ingles en Quotha.net y otros blogs. La idea era romper el cerco medi tico que desde los medios hondure os se hab a impuesto e informar al mundo de lo que en Honduras estaba pasando. Estas son cr nicas escritas, en su mayor a, hechas desde la calle y al calor de los acontecimientos. Rescatarlas es hacerle un homenaje a todos los hombres y mujeres, los m rtires que vi caer, en el transcurso de esos d as.
