Abstract:
Autobiographies and Reminiscences of California Pioneers, p. 113-127, Vol. 8. This is a typed transcript, bound into a volume,
of an unknown member's autobiographical reminiscence created as an institutional record for the Society of California Pioneers.
This reminiscence is an account of the filibustering attempt made by William Walker and his party to obtain possession of
La Paz, the principal seaport of Sonora, Mexico, as well as the towns of La Guilla and St. Tomas in 1853. Once they succeeded
in their efforts they established the "Provisional Government of the Republic of Lower California" under William Walker's
presidency. The period of time represented by this reminiscence is 1853 to 1854.
