Gonzalo de Quesada y Aróstegui

Gonzalo de Quesada (December 15, 1868 - January 9, 1915) was a key architect of Cuba's Independence Movement with José Martí during the late 19th century.

Born in Havana, his family moved to New York City, where he was educated. While in the United States, he attended CCNY before graduating from Columbia University. During his undergraduate career he was initiated into Theta Delta Chi. He soon pursued a law degree, graduating from New York University in 1891.

While in New York, de Quesada came in contact with Martí after attending several rallies for Cuban exiles.
