The Canadian Mambí
By: Marta Denis
The young William Ryan, born in Toronto, Canada, fought for Cuba's freedom in the first independence war, the Ten Years' War, as a Mambí or Cuban independence fighter until he was executed by a Spanish firing squad in Santiago de Cuba in 1873.
Ryan's birth date is reported by some sources as Dec. 31, 1842, while others set it at March 28, 1843. Some refer to him as William Alberto Claudio Ryan, while others call him Washington Ryan.
He was still a child when his family immigrated to the United States, where he distinguished himself as a soldier in the U.S. Civil War (1861-1865) and reached the rank of captain. He served in the 192nd Infantry Regiment of the New York Volunteers in the Union Army.
