About this book
Pioneering in Cuba, by James Meade Adams, is a narrative of the settlement of La Gloria, the first American colony in Cuba, and the early experiences of the pioneers. The preface says the true story of the La Gloria colony should be told, without bias and with an accurate, first-hand knowledge of all the facts. The contents list includes A Deluge of Frogs, A Greedy Snake and Catching Fish in Central Avenue.
The text says it has been describing the people of the province of Puerto Principe, and mainly of the rural portions thereof. Puerto Principe is called the fertile and unfortunate province which has probably suffered more from the ravages of war in the last thirty years than any other province in the island, completely despoiled during the Ten Years' War. Max Neuber of Philadelphia is named as one of the teachers in the evening school, whose friends would find him early and late chopping, digging, and planting.
