Sobre IBD

En la mitad del siglo XIX, un hombre audaz y temerario soñó con forjar un reino bajo sus propias leyes. Se llamaba William Walker y era médico, abogado, periodista, soldado y... filibustero. Con apenas un puñado de seguidores, invadió y conquistó Nicaragua, incendió la ciudad de Granada y se convirtió en un personaje detestado por muchos, pero admirado y querido por otros.Walker es el más famoso de los filibusteros y concluyó sus días frente a un pelotón de fusilamiento en la hermosa bahía de Trujillo, Honduras. Allí, en el antiguo cementerio de la ciudad, reposan sus restos. William O. Scroggs reconstruye, con rigor documental y pulso de gran narrador, la fascinante historia de este aventurero.WILLIAM OSCAR SCROGGS. Bibliotecario, educador y periodista. Nació el 30 de marzo de 1879 en Monroe, Carolina del Norte. Entre sus obras destacan Filibusteros y financieros: la historia de William Walker y sus asociados, Estaciones de abastecimiento de combustible para buques de vapor en países extranjeros y territorios no contiguos de los Estados Unidos y La historia de Luisiana. Falleció en 1957.
