Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. On October 16, 1853 with 48 men, filibuster William Walker sailed out from San Francisco on his first filibustering expedition: the conquest of the Mexican territories of Baja California and the state of Occidente. He financed the effort by selling scrip in exchange for promises of land in Sonora. Three weeks later, Walker took control of La Paz, the capital of the sparsely populated Baja California, and 200 more men joined him. Walker declared La Paz the capital of a new Republic of Baja California, with himself as president and a constitution copied from that of Louisiana.
