L. Lamarque
Photographs of Cuba (Roosevelt R560.3.L16). Theodore Roosevelt Collection,
Harvard College Library.
After the Spanish-American War, the United States Military Government
of Cuba, under the direction of Leonard Wood, spent nearly half its budget between
1898-1902 on public works projects, including building roads, bridges, and wharves,
cleaning and paving streets, purifying water, building and maintaining hospitals, and
disposing of refuse.
Photographs taken mostly in and around Santiago de Cuba (Cuba) while Leonard Wood was Military Governor (1899-1902). Images are
chiefly of locations of historical interest concerning the Spanish-American War and of
various public works in process or completed.
Title for album supplied by cataloger. Unless otherwise noted, titles of photographs
are from captions printed on the photograph.
