Lt. General José Antonio de la Caridad Maceo y Grajales (June 14, 1845 – December 7, 1896) was a Cuban general and second-in-command of the Cuban Army of Independence. Fellow Cubans gave Maceo the nickname "the Bronze Titan" (Spanish: el Titán de Bronce) after he was wounded several times in battle. 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.
