Obscure Map Drawn by Fidel Castro Could Be Yours

Seems a former admirer is selling a map Fidel drew for a pal turned refugee to America.

Castro had attempted to overthrow Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista with an assault on a military barracks. The attack failed and Castro had spent two years behind bars. Viera says that while they chatted, Castro drew a map of the doomed attack and signed it for him with a flourish

What I found particularly interesting about this map is that the guy decided to sell it after hearing about the beau-coup bucks someone got for a lock of Che’s hair.

He says he is auctioning the map because of its historic value and because he needs the money. He had read about a similar auction Heritage held for a lock of hair snipped from Castro ally Ernesto “Che” Guevara before his burial in 1967. That lock of hair brought $100,000 in October.

I don’t know, but if I’m gonna buy a map it’ll be this one or this one. I only wish I could find a link to a picture of the Map to Curly’s Gold.

Those are maps that worked. Fidel’s failed!
