Lt.
General José Antonio de la Caridad Maceo y Grajales (June 14, 1845 – December 7, 1896) was second-in-command of the Cuban Army of Independence. Fellow Cubans gave Maceo the nickname “The Bronze Titan" (Spanish: El Titán de Bronce), which was a reference to his skin color, stature and status.
Spaniards referred to Maceo as the "Greater Lion" (El León mayor).
Maceo was one of the most noteworthy guerrilla leaders in 19th century Latin America, comparable to José Antonio Páez of Venezuela in military acumen.
