One thought on “Columbia and Cuba”
I read an autobiography by Norman Rockwell when I was in high school. Rockwell was a child in the years following this time, and so the first chapters covered a childhood in which Commodore Dewey was still admired somewhat as a war hero. So Rockwell described a child of a poor family in his neighborhood whose nickname was “Dirty Dewey”. He wore a costume for his regular clothes that was popularly known as a “Dewey Suit”, which consisted of a little Commodore’s uniform and hat and a cardboard sword.
