Wood born on October 9 1860 in Winchester New Hampshire graduated Harvard Medical School in 1884. After working in private practice in Boston for two years he secured a job as army assistant surgeon with the rank of first lieutenant in January 1886. Routine successes and close relationships with political giants Wood formed a close friendship with Theodore Roosevelt and helped Roosevelt organize the 1st Volunteer Calvary Regiment for service in the Spanish-American War in May 1898 allowed for a quick advancement in his military service which eventually aroused some controversy. "Promoted to brigadier general and in December of that year he was promoted again to major general of volunteers and named military governor of Cuba. During his term in that post great strides were taken in improving internal conditions notably through the sanitation work of Maj. William C. Gorgas. Modern school police transportation and communications systems were established and a new constitution and body of laws were drawn up." Webster's American Military Biographies p. 488. In May of 1902 Wood stepped down from his executive position in order for the popularly elected President Tomas Estrada Palma to take over. "Aggressive ambitious and self-righteous Wood was not an easy man to work with; his change from medical doctor to fighting soldier and his rise from captain to brigadier general in the space of five years 1898-1903 aroused considerable distrust and hostility in and out of the army. his single-inded advocacy of the Plattsburgh Idea later to resurface as the ROTC contributed greatly to US readiness in World War I; unquestionably one of the greatest U.S. soldiers." -The Harper Encyclopedia of Military Biography p.807.

18773543<p>Coleccion de articulos publicados por la voz de cuba sobre la cuestion de vento primera edicion habanaimprenta de rosendo espina 1877 caratulas originaleslibro originalestado regularla voz de cuba fue un periodico cubano del siglo XIX en este libro se publican articulos del ingeniero cubano francisco de albearcon respecto a la construccion del acueducto de vento en la habanaAsí a solicitud del capitán general de la Isla el coronel de ingenieros >Francisco de Albear y Fernández de Lara presentó en 1855 una "Memoria acerca del Proyecto de conducción a La Habana de las aguas de los manantiales de Vento" que proyectaba un sistema de acueducto de mampostería cerrado que conduciría por gravedad las aguas de dichos manantiales hasta su destino final a una distancia de once kilómetros. En la Memoria Albear realizó un estudio de los antecedentes y las posibilidades de aprovechamiento de los acueductos anteriores efectuó un cálculo de la dotación de agua para la ciudad valoró las dificultades para lograr la obra de captación en Vento y propuso el trazado del canal hasta el depósito.</p><p>Atendiendo a la extraordinaria complejidad de la obra y a las dificultades de su ejecución en el convulso período de la >Guerra de los diez años Albear elaboró y presentó en 1876 dos nuevos documentos: la "Memoria del Proyecto de depósito de recepción y de distribución de las obras del Canal de Vento" y la "Memoria del Proyecto de la distribución del agua de Vento en La Habana". En la primera valoraba los aspectos relativos a la ubicación altura capacidad y dimensiones del depósito así como otros aspectos tecnológicos; mientras que en la segunda se argumentaban las condiciones requeridas para un buen sistema de distribución dividido en dos partes interior y exterior así como las particularidades y aportes de cada una de ellas.</p>La inauguración del Acueducto de Albear denominado finalmente así tras la muerte de su artífice el 22 de octubre de 1887 no ocurriría hasta seis años más tarde el 23 de enero de 1893 en medio de condiciones políticas y económicas sumamente adversas plagadas de dificultades no sólo topográficas y tecnológicas sino incluso higiénicas en momentos en que las llamadas "fiebres de Vento" diezmaban a sus constructores. La etapa final de las obras a cargo de la firma Runkle Smith and Co. de Nueva York y encabezada por el ingeniero Sherman Gould por la parte norteamericana fue dirigida de acuerdo con los proyectos originales por un discípulo y continuador de Albear el coronel de ingenieros >Joaquín Ruiz. No obstante su artífice llegó a tener en vida la satisfacción de ver su proyecto premiado con Medalla de Oro en la Exposición Universal de >París de 1878 donde se la consideró como una obra maestra de la ingeniería del siglo XIX.

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.

19036457V.p. 1903. 36 postcards all completed in manuscript generally very good or better with some wear and rounded corners. <br /> <br /> A fascinating assemblage of cards written by Pre-Castro intellectuals to a Maria de Serra though a few are written to other women. It is difficult to pin down de Serra though we do know she was highly educated and very well-known and connected. It makes sense to us that she is perhaps the Maria de Serra mentioned by William Wells Brown in his important work The Rising Son or the Antecedents and advancement of the Colored Race 1874. On pg 260 Brown writes:<br /> <br /> "The free blacks in Cuba form an important element in her population and these people are found in all the professions and trades. .one of the best young ladies' academies at present existing at Havana is personally conducted by an accomplished negro woman Maria de Serra to whom many a lady of high rank owes her social and intellectual accomplishments."<br /> <br /> Further research may be fruitful in retrieving more information on this Maria de Serra.<br /> <br /> It goes without saying that the sentiments and signatures are the most appealing part of this collection. Many of the cards appear to contain original verse and all are quite legible and well preserved. Equally as lovely are the cards themselves many being of exceptional beauty as they were all chosen by artists and intellectuals. All in all a remarkable set worthy of further research.
