ON THE ROAD AGAIN

Second stop:
​Yorktown
​​Battlefield, Va.

By Miguel Pérez

So there we were, my childhood friend Gustavo and I, touring the battlefields at Yorktown, Va., admiring how French and American soldiers defeated the British in the last major battle of the American Revolution.

But of course, we were looking to see how much credit is given there to those who paid for the Yorktown victory. Do they acknowledge that the money to support George Washington's troops came from Spaniards in Cuba?

Of course, that will be the subject of a future column. But I can tell you this: Gustavo was not happy!
