    This article discusses the characteristics of Galician migration to the United States from the late nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth century. It does so by looking at three states:

    Louisiana, Florida, and New York. The article examines the activities of the Galician diaspora in the United States through a variety of ethnic-based organizations. The analysis of the response of the Galician communities in the United States to the Spanish Civil War, and the trajectory of Basilio Alvarez, a republican exile who died in the Hospital of the Centro Español de Tampa (the Spanish mutual aid society), underscores the connection between the pre-Civil War emigration diaspora and that of the republican exile of 1939.
