Manuel died in San Juan, Puerto Rico and his remains were transferred in March 1917.
Political and Dominican novelist, one of the most genuine representatives of the historical novel in his country and in Latin America. He served as President Santana's secretary. In 1876 was Foreign Secretary with President Espaillat. From 1883-1889 he was president of the Supreme Court. In 1891 represented Santo Domingo in the United States, and in 1893 was Foreign Secretary with President Heureaux.
Wrote his great historical novel Enriquillo on the events of the island during the sixteenth century, describing the events of the time of the Conquest, the arrival of Ovando to the righteous rebellion of the last chief of the island, Enriquillo. This novel by Manuel de Jesús Galván, published between 1879 and 1882, apart from the above, is the description of the life and customs of the first European society that existed in America. Historical truth pouring into his work is based on original documents, which he repeatedly quotes verbatim, but the artistic values ​​of Enriquillo manage to rise on the approach merely documentary of the echos that narrates, hence its literary significance. Also translates faithfully the style and ideas of the sixteenth century.
Manuel de Jesús Galván was born in Santo Domingo on January 19, 1834, son of Maria Candelaria Galvan Lamb. It is said that his father was Francisco Javier Abreu. He married Francisca Velasquez, mother of his children Angela Demerici, Enrique Julio Silverio, Teresa Eugenia de las Mercedes, Manuel de Jesús, María Rafael and Juan Luis Arturo Octavio. The wife died in May 1896 and remarried to his cousin Maria del Carmen Galvan.

He held public office in all governments that followed Santana, including Espaillat, William, Woss y Gil, among others. He founded the Society for Literature Lovers and the weeklies The Oasis and The Reason, created by the government in order to neutralize the propaganda against the reinstatement. " Besides published Enriquillo Trimming the Dominican-Spanish issue. Manuel Núñez, who wrote a voluminous copy of Galvan, rescued his novels Elvira and Manfredo, The Puericracia, Freeom or Boredom, The Procuress and all diplomatic pros.

Galvan retired from public life at seventy-two years old. After the fall of the Liberals, says Nunez, took refuge in Puerto Rico where he died in 1910.
