Notes: Autobiography of Mari a Mercedes Rodri guez Va squez (1922-2013), the daughter of the legendary anti-Trujillo fighter, Juan Rodri guez Garci a (1886-1960). This testimony tells of the life of her father as much as her own life. Rodri guez Garci a was known as General Juancito Rodri guez and was a very wealthy landowner in the Cibao region. After he was forced into exile, from Cuba and Venezuela he dedicated his life and fortune fighting to bring down the Trujillo regime.  He financed several expeditions to the D.R. all of which failed including those of Cayo Confites (1947) and Lupero n (1949).  Rodri guez Garci a commited suicide just months before Trujillo was assassinated. This is a very important for the study of Dominican history.
