Adams is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book narrates the experiences of the first American colony established in Cuba, focusing on La Gloria and the early challenges faced by the pioneers as they attempted to create a new life in a foreign land. It blends personal stories with observations about the environment, the local people, and the trials of colonization. The opening of the narrative introduces the reader to the arrival of the colonists in Nuevitas Harbor as they disembark from the steamer "Yarmouth". The text vividly portrays their excited yet daunting first impressions of the Cuban landscape, emphasizing the contrast between the picturesque view from the sea and the mud-strewn reality upon landing. Adams describes the colonists—a diverse group representing various states and backgrounds—who arrive with hopes of establishing their new home but soon confront the harsh realities of their new environment. The initial chapters set the stage for their journey towards settling in La Gloria, detailing their early interactions with local Cubans and the physical hardships encountered on their path.
