Cuba and Key West have always had close ties, especially in the 19th century. The tobacco workers who worked in Key West, as well as other Cuban exiles living there, helped and fought for Cuba's independence. Jose Marti inspired them with his speeches during his visits to Key West. The San Carlos was, and still is, a historic landmark for all Cubans. This book documents this history as well as many other stories of an important city located just 90 miles from the Cuban archipelago.
