Abstract	Prudencio de Hechavarria y O'Gaban was born in Santiago de Cuba in 1796. He was a lawyer, judge, professor, orator, and eminent poet. Bernardo de Hechavarria y O'Gaban was Prudencio's brother and was born in Santiago de Cuba in 1812. He also studied law and, like his brother, received recognition for his writings, but in his case for political ones instead of poetry. The collection chiefly documents events in Cuba and Spain in the 19th century, a period of great intellectual and political upheaval. Included are poems, letters, clippings, and other materials written by or relating to Prudencio de Hechavarria y O'Gaban. Also included are letters, legal documents, reports, pamphlets, leaflets, and other items pertaining to Prudencio's brother, Bernardo de Hechavarria y O'Gaban, and letters, printed items, and family papers of members of Bernardo's family, including his sons, Prudencio de Hechavarria and Bernardo de Hechavarria, and to Enrique Ledesma, presumably his brother-in-law. There is also a poem by Spanish poet and politician Francisco Martinez de la Rosa.

Prudencio de Hechavarria y O'Gaban was born in Santiago de Cuba in 1796. He was a lawyer, judge, professor, orator, and eminent poet. He attended the Real Colegio Seminario, where he studied under the Cuban social reformer and professor Felix Varela. In 1818, he received his doctorate in civil law from the University of San Carlos de la Habana. Prudencio de Hechavarria y O'Gaban held a number of influential judicial and administrative positions in Cuba and Spain and was honored in Madrid with the Cruz de Carlos III in 1827. At age 23, he wrote a satire published in La Havana, and later reprinted in Paris in 1828, where it was lauded by by the Spanish poet and politician Francisco Martinez de la Rosa, who referred to Prudencio de Hechavarria y O'Gaban as "Apolo de Cuba, el indiano que brillo a lo europeo (Apollo of Cuba, the indiano who shined in the European style)." Prudencio de Hechavarria y O'Gaban went on to contribute his poetry to a number of publications. He died in Cuba in 1846.
