Description
Top frames show Fidel Castro consulting with members of his forces and a team of three guerrillas talking as they apparently keep watch. The third row of frames shows a large peasant family of several generations in which two of the adult men, probably members of local underground rural network of supporters and saboteurs, point rifles while posing with their relatives. The fourth row of frames depicts a truck requisitioned by the guerrillas and a group of guerrillas marching across a riverbed. The fifth row of frames shows Fidel Castro and others consulting a peasant man mounted on a white horse (also pictured in frame 23A in fourth row) and peasants as they prepare to contribute their labor to the digging of a trench, among other tasks. The sixth and seventh rows of frames depict a large group of peasants digging alongside a gravel road with pick axes and other implements, apparently in order to lay a live wire for the timed detonation of explosives along the road (the wire is clearly visible in Frames 27 and 28). In these pictures, as well as the bottom-most row of frames, the guerrillas are seen standing guard nearby while the peasants do the work. See also Print 56.
