John J. Alles Letter, 1898

0.01 Linear Foot

Two page reply to F. Wendell White giving response to White questioning the authenticity of Alles' imprisonment at Moro Castle, Havana in 1850. His account is a brief recollection of his experience and regret of his Filibustering venture under the direction of General Narcesso Lopez. Because the expedition was not sent by the Authority of the United States, none of the captives were defended. Instead they were taken prisoner by the Spanish, tried, and sentenced to death. An article that recounts Alles' recollections of the events is with his response letter.

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
