Book Synopsis
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.

Trade Review
"One of the finest and subtlest books ever written on an American frontier. . . . [A] many layered and ironical masterpiece."—Malcolm Deas, Times Literary Supplement
"I find Eva Gillies’s translation of Mansilla’s work simply superb. . . . [It] provides an excellent reconstruction of Mansilla’s momentous journey as well as of his times."—Saul Sosnowski, University of Maryland
