Sketch of Frederic Fernandez Cavada, a Native of Cuba Showing Partially What One of His Friends Knew of Him as a Soldier, a Gentleman, a Poet, a Diplomat, an Author, a Patriot and a Victim (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Sketch of Frederic Fernandez Cavada, a Native of Cuba: Showing Partially What One of His Friends Knew of Him as a Soldier, a Gentleman, a Poet, a Diplomat, an Author, a Patriot and a Victim

For the following sketch I have no apology to make, though fully aware of its imperfections. Am conscious, too, that what has been written renders me amenable to the charge of egotism. As this could not be avoided I accept the situation - from necessity.

If any one supposes the following pages to be a sketch Of the life of Frederic F. Cavada, he will find out his error before he reads very far. It is only a statement Of what I knew about him, and I have prepared it solely for the information Of those gentlemen who, under the belief he was alive, aided me in trying to save his life, that they may understand why I was so persistent in the demands made upon them the fourth and fifth Of July.
