Boy Scout Patch Asociación de Boy Scouts de Cuba Havana 1959 -- Wolf Cub Badge Manada del Grupo 14
Fine. Unused embroidered Wolf Cub badge issued by the Asociación de Boy Scouts de Cuba ASC the national Scouting organization active from 1927 until its suspension in 1961 following the Cuban Revolution. This badge is associated with Manada del Grupo 14 Havana dating to 1959 the final year of organized Cuban Scouting.<br /> <br /> The patch measures approximately 1.5 inches per side diamond format. Embroidered in navy blue with a gold border gold lettering and a stylized wolf head emblem. The initials "ASC" identify the Cuban national organization. The badge shows no evidence of being sewn to a uniform and remains unused.<br /> <br /> The embroidery is crisp and intact colors strong edges clean. No staining fraying or mounting traces. Very fine unused condition. This badge was retained within a Scoutmaster-prepared photographic album providing direct period association rather than later collector accumulation. <br /> <br /> Cuban Scouting began in 1914 and formally organized as the ASC in 1927 joining the World Organization of the Scout Movement the same year. Following the 1959 revolution the organization was suspended in 1961 and disbanded shortly thereafter. <br /> <br /> Surviving Cuban Scout insignia from this terminal period are uncommon particularly unused examples with documented Havana troop association.<br /> <br /> Subjects: Boy Scouts of Cuba Havana Cuban Revolution 1959 Cold War era youth movements Scouting insignia Americana youth organizations political transition ephemera. unknown

A Sermon Preached at the Thursday-Lecture in Boston September 16 1762. Before the Great and General Court Of the Province of the Massachusetts-Bay in New-England. On the Joyful News of the Reduction of the Havannah
Boston New England: Printed by John Draper Printer to His Excellency the Governor and the Honourable His Majesty's Council: AND By Edes and Gill Printers to the Honourable House of Representative 1762. First Edition. Wraps. Good. Disbound wraps. 33 1 page blank. Half title present. Light toning and scattered brown spots to the print. <br /> <br /> Evans 9269; Sabin 79430. From wikipedia:<br /> <br /> The siege of Havana was a successful British siege against Spanish-ruled Havana that lasted from March to August 1762 as part of the Seven Years' War. After Spain abandoned its former policy of neutrality by signing the family compact with France resulting in a British declaration of war on Spain in January 1762 the British government decided to mount an attack on the important Spanish fortress and naval base of Havana with the intention of weakening the Spanish presence in the Caribbean and improving the security of its own North American colonies. A strong British naval force consisting of squadrons from Britain and the West Indies and the military force of British and American troops it convoyed were able to approach Havana from a direction that neither the Spanish governor nor the Admiral expected and were able to trap the Spanish fleet in the Havana harbour and land its troops with relatively little resistance.<br /> <br /> The Spanish authorities decided on a strategy of delaying the British attack until the strength of the city's defences and the onset of seasonal rains inflicting tropical diseases would significantly reduce the size of the British force via disease along with the start of hurricane season would force the British fleet to seek a safe anchorage. However the city's main fortress the Morro Castle was overlooked by a hill that the governor had neglected to fortify; the British installed batteries there and bombarded the fortress daily with heavy shelling. The fortress eventually fell after the officer in charge of Morro Castle Luis Vicente de Velasco was mortally wounded by a stray bullet. The capture of Morro Castle led to the eventual fall of the rest of the fortifications and the surrender of the city the remaining garrison and the naval forces present before the hurricane season began.<br /> <br /> The surrender of Havana led to substantial rewards for the British naval and military leaders and smaller amounts of prize money for other officers and men. The Spanish governor Admiral and other military and civil office holders were court-martialled upon their return to Spain and punished for their failures to conduct a better defence and allowing the Spanish fleet present to fall intact into the hands of the British. Havana remained under British occupation until February 1763 when it was returned to Spain under the 1763 Treaty of Paris that formally ended the war. Printed by John Draper, Printer to His Excellency the Governor, and the Honourable His Majesty's Council: AND By Edes and Gill, unknown

[Cuba – Isle of Pines – Imperialism] Wark, William H
The Isle of Pines. Promotional Photo Album
Brooklyn New York: The Albertype Co 1913. Photo album of twenty-five 12 ½ x 10 inch pages containing fifty 8 x 6 inch photographs with cardstock cover. Cover and pages worn with marginal damage; pages mostly detached from string binding; photos with captions on negative; Near Fine with Fine contrast. Overall excellent to Near Fine. After the Spanish American War the Isle of Pines now Isla de Juventud in Cuba was contested territory because the 1901 Platt Amendment had specifically left ownership of the island up to a future treaty; the 1904 Hay-Quesada Treaty recognizing Cuban sovereignty over the island failed to be ratified by the US until 1925. American citizens controlled ninety-five per cent or more of the island’s land and were strongly in favor of American annexation. <br /> <br /> Offered here is a 1913 photo album exhibiting the island’s lush scenery productive farmland and luxurious American residences and resorts. The American property owners are identified by name and include American Residents and Property Owners’ Association President T.J. Keenan who in 1902 described the island under default administration by the Cuban government as “on the verge of anarchy . American interests are absolutely unprotectedâ€1; H.A.

[Cuba – Railroad History] Unknown Photographer
Photo Album Documenting the Havana Central Railroad Company Building Its Line from Havana to Guanajay in 1906
La Habana Province Republic of Cuba 1906. Twenty-two photographs measuring 7 ¼ x 9 ½ inches mounted on heavy cardstock measuring 10 x 12 inches. Photos numbered and dated on negative. In album embossed with “Havana Central Railroad Co./ Progress Photographs/ GUANAJAYâ€. Photos with fine contrast and some wear; mounts with minor damage slightly warped with some detached from binding. Overall excellent. Havana Central Railroad Company was an American company formed in April 1905. It opened two electric tram lines—Havana to Guanajay in 1906 and Havana to Güines in 1907—before it was bought by the English company United Railways following the Panic of 1907. Offered here is a photo album showing the construction of the Guanajay line. The photographs show laborers assisted by horse-drawn carts digging culverts laying tracks and erecting bridges and buildings.<br /> <br /> This project came on the heels of the successful efforts of the Cuba Company another railroad company to make the emerging Cuban Republic amenable to American business.They did so first by using ‘revocable permits’ which could ostensibly be revoked by the new government when it was formed to circumvent the Foraker Amendment prohibiting concessions to American companies by the US’s military government; and second by using their close relationships to several members of the Cuban Constitutional Convention to include a law allowing irrevocable permits.1 These along with the Platt Amendment and Governor Leonard Wood’s General Railway Law led to what would amount to domination by US interests in Cuba particularly but not exclusively in the railroad industry.2<br /> <br /> Of interest to scholars of the early Republic of Cuba especially the history of US businesses in the country.<br /> <br /> 1 Juan C.

[Cuba —Guantanamo]
The Radio Restaurant Rodrigo Rey Doce Propietor sic. Welcome V.S. sic Navy. Good Home Cooking…
<p>Guantanamo Cuba: Imprenta El Suaso Aguilerae ntre Calixto Carćia y Los Maceo. ca. 1930s. 13½ x 7½ inches. Broadside simple ornamental border. Single sheet mounted to a larger ledger sheet. Two short tears upon fold lines in margins; tanning; good.</p> <p>A rare unrecorded Cuban restaurant menu directed at American naval servicemen. This bilingual broadside functions as both menu and advertisement for Rodrigo Rey Doce’s restaurant aptly named “The Radio†promising “Good Home Cooking†to the U.S. Navy through a fixed-price offering.</p> <p>For one dollar patrons could order familiar comforts—ham and eggs “beesteak†“french fried potatoes†veal chops or cheese with guava jelly—while ice-cold beer was offered at the same price a detail that hints at the economics of leisure near a U.S. base. An à la carte menu supplemented the set meal listing dishes in both English and Spanish including bacon and eggs fried fish steak fried fish parguitos vermicelli soup and simple fruit desserts.</p> <p>The menu suggests a steady clientele of American sailors likely stationed at Guantánamo and captures a small but telling moment of cultural exchange between Cuban proprietors and the U.S. Navy. A rare survival likely kept as a souvenir by a sailor and brought home to the United States.</p> unknown
