Box 1, Folder 4
Abstract:
Includes correspondences and missives sent by Máximo Gómez, who coordinated contacts between the Cuban government in exile in New York (including recruiting volunteers) and the Cuban Liberation Army, to colleagues (particularly Francisco Carrillo), initially from exile in the British West Indies and then from Cuba (particularly in Western Cuba, as far east as the region of Sancti Spíritus). Gómez frequently expressed frustration to Carrillo over the logistical, tactical, and disciplinary situation of Cuban troops and the relative discipline and strength of Spanish forces. Also includes Gómez's eulogy for General Calixto García, who died of presumed pneumonia in December 1898. Spanish-American War, Maine explosion, promotions. Partial geographical list: Turks Islands, Jamaica, Havana/Habana (Cuba), Sancti Spíritus, Los Charcos.
