Manuel Fernández Juncos (December 11, 1846 – August 18, 1928) was a Spanish journalist, poet, author and humanitarian who wrote the official lyrics to La Borinqueña, Puerto Rico's official anthem. ==Early years== Fernández Juncos was born in Tresmonte, a section of Ribadesella, Asturias, Spain. Orphaned at an early age, he arrived in Puerto Rico in 1858 aboard a Spanish vessel. Fernández-Juncos became a Puerto Rican by adopting the island as his country and where he was to spend the rest of his life.〔(El Nuevo Dia )〕〔(Manuel Fernandez Juncos School )〕 Fernández Juncos met by Dr. José Gualberto Padilla, a poet known as "El Caribe" who inspired him towards a literary vocation.〔("Manuel Fernandez Juncos - Masonic Hero of Puerto Rico"; by: Eduardo Camareno, Jr., 32° )〕 He first wrote for ''El Progreso'' (''Progress''), a newspaper founded by José Julián Acosta. He also wrote for the ''Porvenir'' and ''El Clamor del País'' newspapers. Fernández Juncos founded many newspapers with liberal tendencies. Among them, one was called ''El Buscapie''. It promoted a socialist agenda, including the idea that every child should be entitled to a free education. It quickly became the most widely read Puerto Rican paper of its time.〔 He also founded the ''Revista Puertorriqueña'' (''The Puerto Rican Magazine'').〔〔 As a writer, Fernández Juncos studied and wrote about the roots of the Puerto Ricans as a people. Among his most notable works were: ''Tipos y Caracteres'', ''Libro Cuarto de Lectura'', and ''Canciones Escolares'' (which he co-wrote with Virgilio Dávila and Braulio Dueño Colon).〔〔 "El Buscapie" was the only newspaper in the island to criticize the local government.〔 In 1893, he founded the Masonic Lodge Patria No. 61 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. He was also the Lodge’s first Worshipful Master.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Manuel Fernández Juncos」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
