Diario de sesiones congreso de la República de Cuba, Senado: Vol. I-, 1902-, Havana, GovPr, 1902- (LLMC’s run is presently limited to the senate journal for the 3rd Session of the legislature, starting 7 April 1903. Assistance in securing the loan or gift of additional portions of the run would be greatly appreciated. However, even the small sample currently available provides a useful view into the workings of the Cuban Senate in the earliest years of the republic. The volume scanned is also interesting for its provenance. It came to LLMC via Chicago’s Crerar Library and the Center for Research Libraries. But it was once part of the personal library of General Enoch Herbert Crowder. Crowder loomed large in Cuban history. He served as the chief legal officer on the staff of the provisional governor during the American occupation from 1806-1809 during which period he supervised the election of 1908 and contributed significantly to the drafting of a body of organic law. This was followed by service back in the States from 1909-1921, where he served as Judge Advocate of the Army, enacting wide-ranging reforms in the military justice system. During World War I he served as both the founder and the administrator of the Selective Service System. By 1923 he was back in Cuba as American Ambassador, where, until 1927, he took a strong hand in shaping political affairs during the presidency of his protégé, Gerardo Machado y Morales.)
