"The History of Cuba, vol. 1" by Willis Fletcher Johnson is a recount of Cuba's story, highlighting the land’s importance and the growth of its people. The book starts by recounting the moment Christopher Columbus landed in Cuba on October 28, 1492, which was a turning point for the Western Hemisphere. It goes into detail about Columbus's first impressions of Cuba's green landscapes and the people who lived there, while also showing his mistaken ideas about the island's wealth and its connection to Asia. As Columbus explores the northern coast, the book looks at his interactions with the local people and how he misunderstood what they knew, revealing the difficult nature of Cuba's history. The beginning shows Cuba's first steps into global history.
