The three most prominent filibusters of that era were Narciso Lopez and John Quitman in Cuba and William Walker in Baja California, Sonora, Costa Rica and lastly Nicaragua. The term returned to American parlance to refer to Lopez's 1851 Cuban expedition.

THE ZULU WAR

Ten Thousand Greek soldiers who had been hired to fight in a Persian civil war found themselves alone in the heart of the great empire; their leaders had been slain and the whole Persian army threatened them. They were on the edge of despair and surrender, when one of their number, the hero and author Xenophon, took command and led them through the most remarkable retreat in history. They had no guides, they were surrounded by foes, winter was upon them, yet they marched fifteen hundred miles over mountain and wilderness. Xenophon himself has left us a pathetic description of their extravagant

The Patrol 1875 Henri-Louis Dupray A familiar subject for the distinguished military painter, "The Patrol" is the third and final etching that Dupray published with Alfred Cadart, the leading promotor of etching in Paris during the third quarter of the century. The oversized and slightly awkward signature betrays his discomfort in the reversal required by the print medium, though the figures of the soldiers and horses are freely and adeptly conveyed. It may have been Duprays teacher Léon Cogniet (1794-1880) who encouraged Dupray to try his hand at etching in 1863 when he reproduced his first Salon painting. Dupray was at the height of his career having won medals at the Salons of 1872 and 1874, when he decided to attempt etching again.. The Patrol. 1875. Etching on chine collé; proof.
