François Carlo Antommarchi, Napoleon's private doctor, died with his luggage packed with Napoleon possessions while in Santiago de Cuba.
Now, 100 years later, young Cubans have their hearts set on a cultural project to breathe new life into the former chocolate town.
Claire Boobbyer is a rebel with a cause — on the trail of Cuba’s first revolutionary in this land after centuries of isolation.
