"When Santiago Fell; or, The War Adventures of Two Chums" by Edward Stratemeyer is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around two young friends, Alano Guerez and Mark, who embark on a perilous journey during the Cuban-Spanish War in search of their families, experiencing the chaos and excitement of war, as well as the dangers that come with it. As they navigate through blocked paths, capture, and near escapes, they embody the spirit of adventure and camaraderie. The opening portion of the book introduces readers to the tense atmosphere in Santiago, Cuba, as the boys find themselves caught between Spanish authorities and the war's tumult. After arriving in Cuba to be reunited with their families, they quickly realize the dangers posed by the ongoing conflict. The narrative establishes their determination to escape captivity, leading to an audacious attempt to flee the city and traverse the wilderness, all while gathering information about their families and experiencing the perils of warfare up close.
