Deep in the Heart of the Southern Searle Herbarium…
Lies a regal photograph mounted to the sturdiest of boards!
I’m going to see if I may move it into my office.  I seriously love this photo sooooooo much!  And it’s just collecting dust in the back of our herbarium.  It needs a good wall to rest on.
This is the romance of science and adventure.

I think it was taken during the Cuban Revolt against Spain in 1898. I think Elmore Leonard uses it as a first page of Cuba Libre. It's a good pic though, or I wouldn't have remembered it after all these years.
