Cultured scion of a famous family and nephew of Argentine dictator Juan Manuel de Rosas, Lucio V. Mansilla (1831-1913) undertook an "excursion" to the Argentine interior in 1870 to visit natives in areas then largely unknown. In a series of letters, Mansilla recorded invaluable ethnographic observations and perspectives on the "Indian question" and the dichotomy of civilization and barbarism. Illustrated.
