THE NEXT SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR EXPEDITION
March 4 – 8, 2019
… walking in the footsteps of Theodore Roosevelt
https://www.robertmacomber.com/santiago-de-cuba-expedition-march-2019.html
I taking my adventurous readers, historians & friends on a very unique tour
of the Spanish-American War in eastern Cuba,
the war which made America a global power.
We’ll set foot on the invasion beach at Siboney,
where the American Army came ashore;
stand at the edge of the jungle at Guasimas where
Theodore Roosevelt and his Rough Riders came under enemy fire
for the first time as they stormed the trenches; look out over the walls of the besieged
Spanish fort at El Caney; walk on Kettle Hill, where black American soldiers
carried the day; and examine the storied Heights of San Juan,
where Roosevelt won lasting glory. From the ramparts of El Morro Castle on the coast,
you’ll take in the spectacular scene where
the Spanish & American fleets clashed on the Caribbean Sea.
Throughout, you’ll have time to relax and savor the incredible
cuisine, drinks, music, and folk crafts of exotic Cuba.
LIMITED TO 20 PEOPLE
