Maximo Gomez- ALS signed in Spanish (Famous Cuban Military Commander)

Description: Two-page ALS on both sides in un-translated Spanish, signed at the conclusion by Maximo Gomez. A very important rare ALS signed by him in 1900. Requires further research as to the translation. Rare in any form and this is the first autograph of him we have had in 39 years. (1836-1905) Máximo Gómez y Báez was a Dominican Generalissimo in Cuba's War of Independence (1895–1898). He was known for his controversial scorched-earth policy, which entailed dynamiting passenger trains and torching the Spanish loyalists' property and sugar plantations—including many owned by Americans. He greatly increased the efficacy of the attacks by torturing and killing not only Spanish soldiers, but also Spanish sympathizers and especially Cubans loyal to Spain. By the time the Spanish–American War broke out in April 1898, the rebellion was virtually defeated in most of Western Cuba, with only a few operating pockets in the center and the east. He refused to join forces with the Spanish in fighting off the United States, and he retired to the Quinta de los Molinos, a luxury villa outside of Havana after the war's end formerly used by captains generals as summer residence. At the end of the Cuban Independence War in 1898, he retired to a villa outside of Havana. In 1899, he was dismissed as general-in-chief of the Cuban army by the Asamblea del Cerro, and this position was abolished. He refused the presidential nomination that was offered to him in 1901, which he was expected to win unopposed, mainly because he always disliked politics. Also, after 40 years of living in Cuba, he still felt that being Dominican-born, he should not become the civil leader of Cuba. He died in his villa in 1905 and was interred in the Colón Cemetery, Havana. Comes with a full Letter of Authenticity from Todd Mueller Authentics.
