Adolfo Rodriguez was the only son of a Cuban farmer, who lived nine
miles outside of Santa Clara, beyond the hills that surround that
city to the north. When the revolution in Cuba broke out young
Rodriguez joined the insurgents, leaving his father and mother and
two sisters at the farm. He was taken, in December of 1896, by a
force of the Guardia Civile, the corps d'elite of the Spanish army,
and defended himself when they tried to capture him, wounding three
of them with his machete. He was tried by a military court for
bearing arms against the government, and sentenced to be shot by a
fusillade some morning before sunrise.
