GETTING HISTORY RIGHT

 

Costa Rica does statues right.

Here we see the bare-breasted women defenders of Costa Rica in pursuit of the defeated American William Walker, who intended to personally colonize the region to himself. Walker is represented by the figure hastily exiting stage right, scrambling over the bodies of his fallen comrades.

The British, who had their own interests in the region would turn Walker over to the Hondurans who promptly executed him by Firing Squad.

If we are going to use statues as history lessons, we need more historically correct statues such as this one. Well done Costa Rica!
