Abstract
Almost from the moment of the outbreak of Cuba’s Ten Years War on October 10, 1868, Cubans
began arriving in Key West to escape Spanish persecution. Within a year, an activist exile
community formed that for thirty years remained actively committed to struggling for Cuban
independence. My presentation will examine the growth and development of the community
and explore its nationalist thought, revolutionary strategies, relations with José Martí, and
unwavering commitment to the independence war of 1895.
