Excerpt from The New-Born Cuba The old saying that to start right is half the battle never had a better opportunity for exemplification than in the first steps of the reconstruction of Cuba by the United States. The world never saw a similar situa tion. An attempt has been made in these pages to tell what certain of the problems involved were and how they were met. Most of the chapters of this book ap peared in a series of articles printed in harper's weekly early in 1899, but it has seemed best to supplement them with others giving a fuller account of what took place in Cuba in the first sixty days of American occupation and control, when the twig was bent for future growth. Whether the grown tree shall bear the fruit of national independence or of colonial dependence or of complete political assimilation depends largely upon the develop ment and conditions of the future. The twig certainly was trained to stand erect and to grow straight and true by the American army officials and others, so as to pro duce national independence. What some of the agencies were that were used to that end and who some of the leading men were that carried out with absolute fidelity and most faithful zeal the orders issued in accordance.

Excerpt from My Winter in Cuba The personal pronoun my in the title of the present work is explanatory, not egotistical. The Winter herein described is mine, and notanother's, in that it deals so largely with that domestic side of Cuban life, which few travellers ever see, and whereof none, to my knowledge, have ever written. The reader may find elsewhere more graphic descriptions of Cuba's scenery; combined with accurate tables of her statistics, and profound views of her politics; but he will find no work that opens to him so frankly the doors of Cuban homes, and allows him to watch the inner currents of Cuban life. Nor could the present narrative have flowed thus fieely across private thresholds, except by the use of fictitious names. There may have been samanos in Cuba, but I never saw them there; The real names of my kind enter tainers are stereotyped only on my heart. But, with this slight exception, the narrative may be relied upon as strictly true. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
