Begas and the Cuban Liberation Fable in New Orleans

A tangled 19th century account recalls Begas, Lopes, and Crittenden aiding Cuban insurgents. It covers Confederate era figures, Wheat’s bold sea landing, seizing a flotilla, and the pro Cuban cause from New Orleans to Carde nas, with Lopez and Carmban as key events and leaders.

Massacre of Executed Americans in Havana Raid Recounted

A chaotic wartime narrative describes Colonel Crittenden and 114 men landing near Havana, with Spanish detachments pursuing. Many Americans are said to have been killed or executed in Havana after a forced stand, including a Kentuckian who refused to kneel. The article chronicles Lopez and Patria’s actions, continuing through later Cuban uprisings and the 1878 Santiago executions, highlighting heroism and tragedy across the conflict.
