Excerpt from The Triumph Yankee Doodle They fell into line. General Nunez, their commandante, was coming to inspect them. It was a sad, sinister line of men. All were lynx eyed. Some were frightened. A few looked weak-kneed, seemed to want to back out. These dark faces were all shades of brown: chocolate, ginger, cinnamon, walnut. Twenty or thirty were black as ebony. These were Cuban negroes, the tallest, strongest-looking men in all that eight hundred. The Cubans themselves were undersized - not one taller than five feet eight. They were narrow-chested and had very small hands and very small feet. But they looked very fierce, and they fondled their machetes. The commandante arrived. Inspection was supposed to follow. It didn't. The command ante dismissed the troops with orders to hold themselves in readiness to move. Great excitement in the ranks. Spanish oaths flew from mouth to mouth. There were protests and many head-shakings. Move? Why we are not ready to move. Move without clothing or arms? Never' Sail under an American flag? Never.

The song ¿Yankee Doodle¿ was originally sung by British soldiers to make fun of ragtag American militiamen early in the War of Independence. When the patriot troops began winning battles, they transformed the words of the song, making it one of triumph for the colonies. Each striking illustration in this book is painted on hand-carved replicas of signs at inns and taverns, and introduces readers to the people, places and events that gave birth to our nation. Beginning with the Stamp Act that angered the patriots and inspired the ¿Sons of Liberty¿ to protest, Minor has us meet George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, among many historical figures, and learn about the documents and battles that keep the fight for freedom alive. Beautifully designed!

Cuban independence arrived formally on May 20, 1902, with the raising of the Cuban flag in Havana - a properly orchestrated and orderly inauguration of the new republic. But something had gone awry. Republican reality fell far short of the separatist ideal. In an unusually powerful book that will appeal to the general reader as well as to the specialist, Louis A. Perez, Jr., recounts the story of the critical years when Cuba won its independence from Spain only to fall in the American orbit.The last quarter of the nineteenth century found Cuba enmeshed in a complicated colonial environment, tied to the declining Spanish empire yet economically dependent on the newly ascendant United States. Rebellion against Spain had involved two generations of Cubans in major but fruitless wars. By careful examination of the social and economic changes occurring in Cuba, and of the political content of the separatist movement, the author argues that the successful insurrection of 1895-98 was not simply the last of the New World rebellions against European colonialism. It was the first of a genre that would become increasingly familiar in the twentieth century: a guerrilla war of national liberation aspiring to the transformation of society.The third player in the drama was the United States. For almost a century, the United States had pursuedthe acquistion of Cuba. Stepping in when Spain was defeated, the Americans occupied Cuba ostensibly to prepare it for independence but instead deliberately created institutions that restored the social hierarchy and guaranteed political and economic dependence. It was not the last time the U.S. intervention would thwart the Cuban revolutionary impulse.

Today it's a fun children's song, but over two hundred years ago, "Yankee Doodle" was a political song used to mock American colonists. During the American Revolution, it became one of America's morale-boosting war songs. This book explores the history of "Yankee Doodle," from first uses to modern applications, using fun facts, easy-to-read sheet music, photographs, and sidebars to tell this interesting story.
