Matanzas Mule

Let's learn some history! Today's lesson is brought to you from the fine people at answers.com. Let's hear what they have to say...

Apr 27, 1898. In one of the first naval actions of the Spanish-American War, US naval forces bombarded the Cuban village of Matanzas. It was widely reported that the only casualty of the bombardment was one mule. The “Matanzas Mule” became instantly famous and remains a footnote in the history of the Spanish-American War.
