Cuba's Struggle against Spain: With The Causes Of American Intervention And A Full Account Of The Spanish-American War, including Peace Negotiations


Lee, Fitzhugh, Cuba's Struggle against Spain: With The Causes Of American Intervention And A Full Account Of The Spanish-American War, including Peace Negotiations, New York: American Historical Press, 1899. (Deteriorated – both covers separated)

Available on-line.

My note:
This book apparently belonged to Dr. Mathews's father-in-law, Cyril Creque. The book also includes “With A Story of Santiago” by Governor Theodore Roosevelt, of New York, Late Colonel of the Rough Riders, and “A Description of the Destruction of the ‘Maine’” by Commander Richard Wainwright, U.S.N. Executive Officer of the “Maine” and Commander of the “Gloucester”.


Fitzhugh Lee (November 19, 1835 – April 28, 1905) was a Confederate cavalry general in the American Civil War, the 40th Governor of Virginia, diplomat, and United States Army general in the Spanish–American War. He was the son of Sydney Smith Lee, a captain in the Confederate States Navy, and the nephew of General Robert E. Lee.
