Summary:

"This critical edition reintroduces an almost-forgotten text-James J. O'Kelly's The Mambi-Land (1874) -which constitutes one of the first book-length accounts of Cuba's Ten Years' War for independence from Spain (1868-1878) and provides a window on a decisive although generally overlooked period in U.S.-Cuba relations"-- Provided by publisher.
