[edit] Manner of Death

A documentary made about him said that he killed himself, not that he died in war. Can we verify how he died?

Just to let you know that.

1. It's a pretty well established fact that he died in battle.

2. http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Jose-Marti seems to be an uncredited copy of this entry, or vice versa.

I can't believe someone made that documentary. José Martí is Cuba's national hero, so I find it disrispectful to say he killed himself. Those documntary makers should have made some research first. Can anyone tell the name of the documentary?

Why can't you believe someone made a documentary that said he killed himself. The (US) Americans have their view of history which isn't always the same as fact. Chrispo 21:09, 25 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Nope, he died in the battle, actually he was more of a writer than a fighter. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.234.103.228 (talk • contribs) on 15:08, 4 February 2006.

Though I can imagine someone saying that charging straight at the enemy was suicidal ! -- Beardo 03:14, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Children

Hello, I'm trying to find more info about José Martí's family. I know he had siblings, but did he have children? - --Rev. Austin 03:32, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Yes, he had children. I think the actor Cesar Romero was related. -- Beardo 22:59, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Jose Martí was his Romero's godfather. He (Romero) always claimed Marti was his grandfather but his legal parents were Carmen and Manuel Mantilla. Marti boarded with Romero's parents.[1].--Tales of the Gold Monkey 06:01, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Here http://www.latinamericanstudies.org/marti-1.htm regards Maria as his daughter.

Her two grand-daughters came to Cuba for a visit and were treated like descendants of Marti. (Though who were they - http://www.cubanow.net/global/loader.php?secc=5&cont=stories/num11/01.htm says daughters of Cesar Romero, but our article has him as a confirmed bachelor. -- Beardo 03:14, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Death of Jose Marti

There is some additional evidence that Marti and Maceo argued vigorously; this is based on first hand testimony of General Loynaz del Castillo. General del Castillo was very long lived and talked a lot. Some of this is mentioned in:
