When the battleship USS Maine mysteriously exploded in Havana Harbor on February 15, 1898, Key West became the coordination point for events that would plunge the United States into war with Spain. The Maine's dead were buried in the Key West cemetery. Soldiers wounded in the fighting were cared for at Key West's Convent Hospital. And the island headquartered scores of journalists, photographers and artists who, at the same time, recorded a unique and lusty period in Key West history. With over 50 photographs and illustrations, many dating back to 1898, this book offers a revealing study of life on the island and the circumstances of war.
