About This Book
The diary records a colonial reduccional expedition into the Gran Chaco, combining travel narrative, military logistics, and missionary reports. It covers planning disputes over men and funds, formal parleys and negotiations with indigenous caciques, precise itineraries and distances along the Senda de Macomita and the Bermejo, and episodes of illness and hardship. Ethnographic notes from mission priests appear alongside a critical appraisal of past settlement policies and proposals for navigation, garrisons, and reduction administration.
