Guillermo Moncada (June 25, 1841 – April 5, 1895), nicknamed "Guillermón" since his childhood (due to his large size), was one of 29 Cuban generals in the Cuban War of Independence.
Born in Santiago, Cuba in 1841,[1] he was a former carpenter who later became a black folk hero, renowned for ending the business of slavehunter Miguel Pérez Céspedes.[2] His father, Narciso Veranes, was a freed slave and did not want his children have his name, so Guillermó took his mother's last name, Dominga Moncada.
He learnt to read and write when he was a child and later turn out to be a writer. He became a carpenter, a job with which he could earn money for his living.
