COLLECTION OF 8 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT LETTERS WRITTEN FROM CUBA 1905-06

a58469A wonderful and poignant collection of 8 letters written by a Spanish emigrant in Cuba 1905-06. The letters total 39 sides on 12 sheets of paper all handwritten in ink in Spanish and addressed to Sra. Mercedes Chueca Alonso in Barcelona. All are signed Pepe who also identifies himself as Jose Vila Maria and as Jose Vicente. The letters include a fairly detailed account of his voyage to Cuba via Barcelona Paris Marseille; a comparison of Havana to Barcelona; advice to a prospective emigrant Mercedes's brother; and some account of his attempts to seek his fortune apparently in the miitary. In passing he mentions something of the events of the time - the August 1906 uprising and subsequent American military intervention:.El haberme hecho ciudadano Cubano fue con objecto de ingresor en la academia del cuerpo de artilleria mas me imponian condiciones que no pude aceptar pues tenia que entrar de soldado y firmar un contrato por cuartro anos y el examen para oficial era libre pues aqui el servicio es voluntario mas illegible quiero que aqui solo illegible la influencias y son muchos los libertadores que de la ultima guerra existen resultan que por muy benos examanes que se hagan podran illegible a extranjero a illegible la plaza inguesaron cuando la intervencion americana fueron relevados en sus cargoes.

Original Photograph of an Armed Cuban Revolutionary.

195872030Havana: Santos Foto ca. 1958. Original Cuban Revolution era photograph showing a seated group of five people. 9 1/2 x 7 3/4 inches. In the center is a soldier very much trying to look like Che Guevara with a full beard and mustache in army cloths and hat and holding a rifle. Seated on either side of him are two couples all in street clothes and each of the men is holding a rifle. The guns appear to be Thompson M1 A1s which would place this photograph at the beginning of the Revolution before Soviet weapons were commonplace. The photographer Santos Foto Habana is identified in the plate and stamped on the rear. Ironically this picture is laid into a Empire Room Waldorf Astoria printed folder. It should be noted that Che Guevara once worked as a dishwasher at the Waldorf so this pairing is probably intentional. Santos Foto hardcover

Boy Scout Patch Asociación de Boy Scouts de Cuba Havana 1959 -- Wolf Cub Badge Manada del Grupo 14

18121Fine. Unused embroidered Wolf Cub badge issued by the Asociación de Boy Scouts de Cuba ASC the national Scouting organization active from 1927 until its suspension in 1961 following the Cuban Revolution. This badge is associated with Manada del Grupo 14 Havana dating to 1959 the final year of organized Cuban Scouting. The patch measures approximately 1.5 inches per side diamond format. Embroidered in navy blue with a gold border gold lettering and a stylized wolf head emblem. The initials "ASC" identify the Cuban national organization. The badge shows no evidence of being sewn to a uniform and remains unused. The embroidery is crisp and intact colors strong edges clean. No staining fraying or mounting traces. Very fine unused condition. This badge was retained within a Scoutmaster-prepared photographic album providing direct period association rather than later collector accumulation. Cuban Scouting began in 1914 and formally organized as the ASC in 1927 joining the World Organization of the Scout Movement the same year. Following the 1959 revolution the organization was suspended in 1961 and disbanded shortly thereafter. Surviving Cuban Scout insignia from this terminal period are uncommon particularly unused examples with documented Havana troop association.

A Sermon Preached at the Thursday-Lecture in Boston September 16 1762. Before the Great and General Court Of the Province of the Massachusetts-Bay in New-England. On the Joyful News of the Reduction of the Havannah

176235251Boston New England: Printed by John Draper Printer to His Excellency the Governor and the Honourable His Majesty's Council: AND By Edes and Gill Printers to the Honourable House of Representative 1762. First Edition. Wraps. Good. Disbound wraps. 33 1 page blank. Half title present. Light toning and scattered brown spots to the print. Evans 9269; Sabin 79430. From wikipedia: The siege of Havana was a successful British siege against Spanish-ruled Havana that lasted from March to August 1762 as part of the Seven Years' War. After Spain abandoned its former policy of neutrality by signing the family compact with France resulting in a British declaration of war on Spain in January 1762 the British government decided to mount an attack on the important Spanish fortress and naval base of Havana with the intention of weakening the Spanish presence in the Caribbean and improving the security of its own North American colonies. A strong British naval force consisting of squadrons from Britain and the West Indies and the military force of British and American troops it convoyed were able to approach Havana from a direction that neither the Spanish governor nor the Admiral expected and were able to trap the Spanish fleet in the Havana harbour and land its troops with relatively little resistance. The Spanish authorities decided on a strategy of delaying the British attack until the strength of the city's defences and the onset of seasonal rains inflicting tropical diseases would significantly reduce the size of the British force via disease along with the start of hurricane season would force the British fleet to seek a safe anchorage. However the city's main fortress the Morro Castle was overlooked by a hill that the governor had neglected to fortify; the British installed batteries there and bombarded the fortress daily with heavy shelling. The fortress eventually fell after the officer in charge of Morro Castle Luis Vicente de Velasco was mortally wounded by a stray bullet. The capture of Morro Castle led to the eventual fall of the rest of the fortifications and the surrender of the city the remaining garrison and the naval forces present before the hurricane season began. The surrender of Havana led to substantial rewards for the British naval and military leaders and smaller amounts of prize money for other officers and men. The Spanish governor Admiral and other military and civil office holders were court-martialled upon their return to Spain and punished for their failures to conduct a better defence and allowing the Spanish fleet present to fall intact into the hands of the British. Havana remained under British occupation until February 1763 when it was returned to Spain under the 1763 Treaty of Paris that formally ended the war.
