Books by Lucio V. Mansilla

Lucio V Mansilla (1831-1913) was a colonel in the Argentine army when he undertook an excursion to the Argentine interior in 1870. In this book, his account, which contains thoughtful perspectives on the 'Indian question' and the dichotomy of civilization and barbarism, stands as a lasting contribution to Argentine and Spanish-American literature.

A vivid, firsthand account of a noncombative encounter between Native American and European civilizations.
