Note 130 — VOLUME V. (continued 13)

Kinney and Walker were two leaders of the “fillibusters” who went “piratifying to extend the area of freedom” in Central America in 1855-60. Walker was shot, as he richly deserved, by the Honduras folks in 1860. He lived in San Francisco, 1850-55, and the southerners there (they are quite numerous and are called the “chivs,” from chivalry), are still noticeably inclined to think his views were not far wrong.
