Paulding, Hiram

The Oxford Companion to American Literature | 1995 | | Copyright

Paulding, Hiram (1797–1878), naval officer, distinguished himself in the Battle of Lake Champlain, the Tripolitan War, and the arrest of William Walker (1857), which delighted the Nicaraguans but caused Buchanan to relieve Paul‐ding of his command. His Journal of a Cruise of the United States Schooner Dolphin (1831) tells of his pursuit of mutineers in the Pacific, and Bolivar in His Camp (1834) describes his 1500‐mile horseback trip in the Andes (1824), carrying dispatches from Admiral Hull to Bolivar.
