Beschreibung
On February 15, 1898, the USS Maine exploded in the harbor of Havana. The official record said 266 men died. The real story says some survived - and that someone didn't want them to. Thomas Stout and Ernie Brown were Buffalo Soldiers of the 9th Cavalry Regiment. African American. Warriors. Keepers of secrets that could destroy powerful men. That night they were in a small rowboat pulling away from the Maine when the Havana sky split in two. They survived. And that made them dangerous. What followed was an epic crossing: six months moving through Cuba and Mexico on foot, until they crossed the river in January 1899 and arrived in El Paso, Texas - where Ernie Brown would build the first African American professional baseball team on the border, and where Thomas Stout would begin a new life carrying Choctaw and Seminole blood in his veins. This is the story of six generations - of two families born on the same night of fire that traveled separate roads for half a century, through revolutionary Cuba, Washington D. C. , and the Caribbean, until they were reunited where everything had begun. A family saga spanning Cuba, Mexico, Texas and the Caribbean. Real history. True blood. Silence that finally speaks.
