Présentation de l'éditeur
Nature designed Cuba for greatness. That salient fact is written large and clear upon every page of the islands history. He must lack vision who can not discern it even in the annals of political, military and social development of the Cuban nation. Although one of the earliest lands in theW estern Hemisphere to be discovered and colonized, it was actually the last of all to be erected into political independence and thus to enter into an opportunity for improving fully the incomparable opulence of its natural endoinent. No land ever shows of what it is capable until it is permitted to do so for its own sake and in its own name. During the long and tedious centuries of Spanish domination, therefore, the resources of Cuba remained largely latent. That is to be said in full view of the notorious fact that the island was openly declared to be the milch cow of Spain. In those two facts appears perhaps the most impressive of all possible testimonies to the surpassing richness of the island.
