Henry summarizes the history of the book and shows us his version of the ships of the time as well as the ceremony in which Congress finally hung the painting of Bernardo de Gálvez.
What did you think of this story? To tell the truth, although I already knew it, it moved me a little again. Because, until now, I had no idea that the language and culture of those of us who speak Spanish would have been so present in the creation of the United States. That is why, when I first heard the exploits of Gálvez, I was very surprised. With eyebrows arched and eyes wide open. Well, to the point that, do you know what I do now? I dedicate myself to look for more clues of the Hispanic heritage in the United States. All over. Detective style. As I tell you. I go online, read books, ask teachers and write to friends and family who live in other states. And so, little by little, I've already discovered some things. For example, that the oldest city in the United States is called San Agustín. Or that the first synagogue in New York was founded by a certain Luis Gómez. Or that the wild horses that inhabit the beaches of Maryland and Virginia come from the sinking of a Spanish galleon. So, if you discover something, please give me a tip. Thank you.
Go ahead, become your own historian and detective! Send me your findings about Gálvez or any hispanic influence in the United States that you uncover. Send over videos, documents, or even just a simple email detailing your findings to:

A fun interactive presentation by Guillermo Fesser to introduce you to the latin army that, led by General Gálvez, saved George Washington's ass.
