The Battle of Sabana Burro (Spanish: Batalla de Sabana Burro) was a major battle of the Dominican Restoration War. It was fought in Hato Mayor, at the junction of the Iguamo and Guamira rivers.[1] Genaro Díaz was in charge of this battle, entering at dawn on May 4, 1864.[2] The restorers sent a column to the center of the savannah to bombard the Spanish.[3] (Genaro, who was known for his skillful handling of the saber during the long since concluded Dominican War of Independence, led a force of machete-wielding soldiers). In the end, the Dominicans defeated the Spanish, in which they acquired one of the two Spanish cannons.[4]
