The Lopez Expeditions to Cuba, 1848-1851 is a historical book written by Robert Granville Caldwell and published in 1915. The book documents the two ill-fated expeditions led by Narciso Lopez, a Venezuelan adventurer, to liberate Cuba from Spanish rule in the mid-19th century. The first expedition, in 1849, failed miserably as Lopez and his men were intercepted by Spanish authorities and executed. The second expedition, in 1851, was more successful initially, as Lopez managed to establish a provisional government in Cuba. However, it ultimately failed due to lack of support from the United States and internal divisions within the rebel forces. Caldwell's book provides a detailed account of the expeditions, drawing on primary sources such as diaries, letters, and official documents. He also provides background information on the political and social context of the time, including the tensions between the United States and Spain over Cuba. Overall, The Lopez Expeditions to Cuba, 1848-1851 is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Cuban history, Latin American studies, or the history of US foreign relations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
