This author referred to assassin Charles Guiteau (gee-TOH) as "a dry tree in which worms have nested" in his account of Guiteau's trial. Some of his poems became a song, which, as arranged by Pete Seeger, was a hit for the folk band The Sandpipers. That song begins by referencing this poet's lines about being "a sincere man from where the palm grows". In an essay dismissing racial hatred, this man proclaimed a "new America... from the Rio Bravo to the Straits of Magellan". This man wrote the essay "Our America" for a Mexican newspaper and produced the collection Versos Sencillos. He was killed fighting the Spanish at the Battle of Dos Ríos. For 10 points, name this author of the poem that became "Guantanamera", a Cuban patriotic song.
