Abstract
"Mr. McPerson's entire outfit consisted of a suit of clothes, an American flag and cheek enough for a regiment together with a paper purporting to have been signed by Attorney General Garland, appointing him United States commissioner. As soon as he landed on the island he raised the American flag with a great deal of ceremony and took command of 600 natives and compelled them to address him as 'King McPherson.'"
