Mud and files. Humane and well-disposed people “when not actuated by political or religious prejudices”. Women who are “generally affable and polite, extremely fond of dress… often making the stranger bow his head at first sight”. Almost excessively indolent men galloping here and there on horseback, practically naked, with silver spurs… bearing horrible-looking wounds… laying back to contemplate the river the whole day long… who prefer meat to any other food, eating it near-raw in quantities a European would consider impossible”. (from micro-stories by the English traveler John Mawe and by a soldier from the 719th Glasgow Regiment, 1807). Lic. Rosana Carrete Director of the Cabildo Historic Museum
