ABSTRACT
The island of Cuba is slightly smaller than Pennsylvania and is the largest country in the Caribbean. In 1895, the poet José Marti led the struggle that finally ended Spanish rule, thanks largely to US intervention in 1898 after the sinking of the battleship Maine in Havana harbor.” The Spanish–American War had begun, and Teddy Roosevelt prevailed at the Battle of San Juan Hill, including my grandfather, Gaston Mandeville Mugnier of the Louisiana Regulars although I think he was stuck in Florida tending Teddy’s horses. A GPS campaign was carried out in 1998, and some additional GPS densification was performed in the vicinity of Havana in 2001.
