Resumen

ABREU UGARTE, Jorge Eduardo  y  CRUZ GARCIA, Maria Antonia. Henry M. Reeve Carrol and Santiago F. Ramón y Cajal during 1868 War. Rev Cub Med Mil [online]. 2015, vol.44, n.2, pp.245-256. ISSN 0138-6557.

The Guerra de los Diez Años (Ten-Year-War; 1868-1878) was the first patriotic deeds of Cubans for liberation from Spanish colonialism. Thousands of Spanish soldiers, including soldiers and officers of different ranks, took part in it. Many North Americans also participated, as a gesture of sincere solidarity, attracted by the anti-colonial and anti-slavery cause for which Cubans fought. Two men came from other lands to fight in this patriotic war. Their prominence transcends time and reach eternity. Each of them left a legacy for generations of Cubans, so they will forever be present. Henry M. Reeve Carrol and Santiago F. Ramon y Cajal fought in opposing armies, the first one as a military commander, the second as a military doctor. The coincidence in the war same period and theater of military operations in Camaguey land leads to a question: Could they engage in military confrontation? Analysis of available literature sources was conducted in order to clarify the unknown, so deepening an issue not dealt with before. The revised data confirmed it was possible. The results are unpublished, since there is no previous references to establish this link between Cajal and Reeve during the first Cuban war for independence. While serving in armies and opposing causes, they shared ethical and patriotic values that are recognized by the Cubans.

Palabras clave : Cajal; Reeve; Camaguey; Vista Hermosa; San Miguel.
