Title: Peasants affiliated with 26th of July guerrilla column in Oriente
Creator: From the Collection: St. George, Andrew, 1924-2001
Published / Created: 1958
Description: The peasants represented in these photographs are engaged in everyday activities such as winnowing corn, standing in line at a local dry goods store, and horseback riding. These peasants probably lived near the 26th of July columns commanded by Fidel and Raúl Castro. One image shows a typical hamlet of peasant homes in the plains region of Oriente, probably near Raúl Castro’s column outside the highlands in a newly liberated zone when St. George visited his camp. Images date from Fall 1958.
