Well Rick might as well start with this one, here are a few details, translation to follow....... I hope

I think we will find a lot of the orders with names are civilian awards to officials, heads of state etc

Now if only we could find out which of the dozens of "named" Orders meant what before everything comes out on eBay....

Cuban poet, essayist and journalist, who became the symbol of Cuba's struggle for independence from Spain and who promoted better understanding among American nations. "No man has any special right because he belongs to any specific race; just by saying the word man, we have already said all the rights." Martí's three major collections of poems were Ismaelillo (1882), Versos sencillos (1891), and Versos libres, written in the 1880s, but published posthumously in 1913. In his most famous political poem, 'Sueño con claustros de mármol', he takes the reader in his dream world, in which sculptures of dead heroes come alive.
