Neumann Gandia, Resena historica de sobre la fundacion y crecimiento del municipio de Moca Neumann Gandia’s Moca of the 1840s, p.82 Looking back at Resena, for early Puerto Rico, Neumann Gandia simply elides the topic (save for the statistics) yet the system of enslavement permeates the economic activity of the era he describes, the 1840s on. This excerpt acknowledges the experiences of Leoncia Lasalle and her daughter Juana Rodriguez Lasalle under bondage. Diaz Soler in Historia de la esclavitud negra en Puerto Rico.
There are a couple of paragraphs detailing the presence of enslaved people in Moca since its founding. The 1972 book devoted two pages to mentions of enslavement: La Esclavitud Negra:( breves anotaciones) en Moca. Instead the intent is to write to reflect the struggle to live, have families or not, to stay or to go, to become part of groups that yielded forms of support, or produced a variety of creative expressions. This is not the same as a building a romanticized story of the past. These local histories can be crucial for creating the microhistories of our ancestors on different parts of the island. The purpose of Neumann Gandia’s text and its later iterations was on the importance of a cultural memory. Cultural Memory, ancestors & what gets overlooked… He married into the Yturrino family, whom i’ve written of in a previous post.Ĭover, Historia de Moca 1772-1972. Additional information builds out Neumann Gandia’s brief history and benefits from photographs of the location and personages, as for the biography of the educator Adolfo Emeterio Babilonia Quinones (1841-1884). There is no mention of the fact that Moca is an indigenous name, nor of any survival in these pages. Published by the Dept de Instruccion Publica, Estado Libre Associado de Puerto Rico, both organizations spoke to a particular moment of identification on local and state level, and a recognition of a shared history that extends to the eighteenth century. This text was the basis for the 1972 bicentennial publication, Historia de Moca 1772-1972, produced by Sociedad Civico-Cultural Pro-Conmemoracion del Bicentenario de Moca, Inc.

Haydee Reichard is making available through the Archivo Digital Nacional de Puerto Rico. He was an avid genealogist whose work continues to inform many today, and which Dra. Herman Reichard Esteves (1910-2005), who preserved this pamphlet and other archival materials, was a librarian and professor based in Aguadilla. He published his two volumes of Benefactores y hombres notables de Puerto-Rico: bocetos biográficos-críticos con un estudio sobre nuestros gobernadores generales, in 18, which contained mini-biographies of figures in government and business. Nor do can we tell the entire volume was by a single author, or if it was a collection that includes multiple municipalities. There’s no mention of what the original text was. It’s a brief 11 pages, taken from a larger work as can be seen from the numbered pages 79-90.
