This book is an illustrated version of the original The History of Cuba by Willis Fletcher Johnson. “It is my purpose in these volumes to write a History of Cuba. The title may imply either the land and its natural conditions, or the people and the nation which inhabit it. It in fact implies both, and to both I shall address myself, though it will appropriately be with the latter rather than with the former that the narrative will be most concerned. For it is with Cuba as with other countries In the last supreme analysis the people make the history of the land. Apart from the people, it is true, the Island of Cuba is of unusual interest. There are few countries of similar extent comparable with it in native variety, charm and wealth. There are few which contribute more, actually and potentially, to the world's supplies of greatly used products. One of the most universally used and prized vegetable products became first known to mankind from Cuba, and there to this day is most profusely and most perfectly grown and prepared; while another, one of the most universally used and essential articles of food, is there produced in its greatest abundance. There also may be found an immense number and bewildering variety of the most serviceable articles in both the vegetable and mineral kingdoms, in noteworthy profusion and perfection, together with possibilities and facilities for a comparable development of the animal kingdom.”

The History of Cuba Volume I Illustrated eBook Willis Fletcher Johnson Reviews
Another wader, takes way too much time to put it all together.
This series was published in 1920. I was expecting to get more recent history. It's detailed, even tedious, and written in a language and style that's hard to read now. It also uses terms that I found uncomfortable, relating to slaves and different cultures.
Having said that, the history from 1492-1920 does have relevance to modern day Cuba, I read these four books before and during my first trip to Cuba and was glad I did. Just wish I had a better understanding of what I was about to read so I could have added something more contemporary.
I find the writing style tedious, but there is much information that a non-historian like me can learn from it. The price was right - free on my .
Very detailed, too much politics, Move too slow.
Excellent read....my husband is Cubano, and it is most interesting to read of his roots. I look forward to vol.2
Preparing for my visit soon. Great early history book.
I have read over 30 books on Cuba and this book was far and beyond the best, most detailed and made history come to life.
