By his own account in the \u003ci\u003eAppeal\u003c\/i\u003e, Walker left Wilmington as a young man and wandered around the United States, residing for an unspecified period in Charleston, South Carolina. In 1825, he turned up as a used-clothes dealer in Boston, where he would spend the rest of his abbreviated life. He died suddenly in 1830. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eSean Wilentz \u003c\/b\u003eis the Cotsen Fellow and professor of history at Princeton University.
