What you’re looking at

This is the opening page of a satirical story by Rev. "Golightly" Morrill about Havana, Cuba during Prohibition-era America. The text mocks travelers seeking exotic experiences in Havana, which had become a popular destination for Americans wanting to drink alcohol illegally during the 1920s-30s ban. The satire targets: - **Havana's appeal** as a booze-soaked "Fountain of Youth" - **Exorbitant bar prices** exploiting thirsty Americans - **Corrupt management** dismissing customer complaints - **Prohibition hypocrisy**, implying Americans would travel abroad to circumvent domestic law The author contrasts Havana unfavorably with French West Indies alternatives offering better value. The religious author's tone is moralistic disapproval wrapped in wry humor about American excess and desperation during Prohibition.
