 Juan Facundo Quiroga Summary
Quiroga was born in San Antonio, La Rioja, the son of a traditional but impoverished Riojan family of cattle breeders.
After the war, Quiroga established himself as one of the leaders of federalism in Argentina (along with Rosas and the caudillo of Santa Fe, Estanislao López), although he declared in his correspondence with Rosas that his ideas were in fact unitarian, but that he became a champion of federalism because people wanted federalism.
In 1834 Quiroga was appointed by the governor of Buenos Aires (and Representative of Foreign Relations of the Argentine Confederation) Manuel Vicente Maza to mediate beetween the governors of Tucumán and Salta, but Salta governor De la Torre died before Quiroga could arrive.

 Juan Facundo Quiroga
QUIROGA, Juan Facundo (ke-ro'-gah), Argentine soldier, born in San Juan, in the province of Rioja, Argentine Republic, in 1790; died in Barranea Yaeo, near Cordova, 28 December, 1835.
His parents were shepherds, and sent him in 1799 to school in San Juan, but he soon assaulted his teacher and fled, working as a laborer to gain a livelihood.
He now recalled the banished Davila; but, as the latter would not submit to Quiroga's dictation, he was deposed, and, as he resisted with some loyal regiments, he was attacked and killed by Quiroga, who proclaimed himself independent chief of the province.

 Juan Facundo Quiroga   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
A caudillo from the western province of La Rioja, Juan Facundo Quiroga, in concert with Juan Manuel Rosas, led his gaucho army against the Unitarios from the 1820s through the mid-1830s.
Quiroga’s political views reflected a conservative ideology, including local control versus centralization, support for local industries, and a strong role for the Catholic church in societal affairs.
Facundo was assassinated at Barranca Yaco in February 1835.

 Sarmiento
Facundo, who had calculated everything, down to the weakness of the chair in which the master was seated, gave him a buf'fet, upset him on his back, and, taking to the street in the confusion created by this scene, hid himself among some wild vines where they could not get him out for three days.
Facundo reappears later in Buenos Aires, where he was enrolled in 1810 as a recruit in the regiment of Arribenos, which was commanded by General Ocampo, a native of his own province, and afterwards president of Charcas.
Facundo was one of these criminals, and as soon as he found himself free from prison, he seized an iron bar of his fetters, split the skull of the very Spaniard who had released him, and passing through the group of insurgents, left a wide path strewn with the dead.

 Facundo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was written partly in protest to the regime of Juan Manuel de Rosas who ruled Argentina from 1835 to 1852.
In the book, Sarmiento portrays the rise of Juan Facundo Quiroga, an archetypical Argentine Caudillo, his controversial rule, and his downfall.
Juan Facundo was all that: he was wild and untamed in Argentina in opposition to true progress through the common enlightenment of society.

 Reviews of Children of Facundo
In Children of Facundo the point of departure is the assertion that ‘caudillismo should be seen through the followers’ eyes as well as those of the leaders, and to accomplish this, historian must focus on the followers’ social conditions and popular culture’ (p.4).
Quiroga was killed before the period the book concentrates on, but, as the title suggest, many aspects of later politics originally developed during Quiroga's career.
Quiroga was the first leader to mobilize the impoverished inhabitants of the province against the Unitarians, and Peñaloza was one of his former lieutenants who led some of the last great Federalist rebellions against the emerging national state.

Triunfante Facundo Quiroga, en 1831, Sarmiento emigra a Chile, donde fue maestro de escuela Putaendo; gana 13 pesos mensuales de sueldo.
Facundo no ha muerto; está vivo en las tradiciones populares, en la política y revoluciones argentinas; en Rosas, su heredero, su complemento: su alma ha pasado a este otro molde, más acabado, más perfecto; y lo que en él era sólo instinto, iniciación, tendencia, convirtióse en Rosas en sistema, efecto y fin.
Facundo Quiroga, empero, es el tipo más ingenuo del carácter de la guerra civil de la República Argentina; es la figura más americana que la revolución presenta.

Quiroga (gobernador de La Rioja) se opuso a Lamadrid (gobernador de Tucumán) ya que este defendía la carta unitaria y no sólo eso, sino que además amenazaba con extender su autoridad por Catamarca, Jujuy, Salta y Cuyo.
Quiroga había logrado hacerse fuerte en las provincias de Cuyo, pero Paz lo volvió a vencer en 1830 y constituyó la Liga del Interior para hacerles frente a los federales que predominaban en el litoral.

He claimed Facundo had a “Herculean arm” (183) and compared his hair to “the serpents of Medusa’s head” (100), which was cut off by Perseus and turned into the Aegis, a symbol of the gods’ power worn by Athena.
Sarmiento also compared Facundo to “a statue of the thundering Jupiter” (101), the king of the gods, and to “the Greek horse that the Trojans hurried to introduce into the city” (105), leading to their own destruction.
Domingo Faustino Sarmiento subtitled Facundo “Civilization and Barbarism” and the roots of western civilization are buried in the soil of ancient Greece and Rome.

 - Facundo Quiroga
La persona de Juan Facundo Quiroga, igual que la de otros caudillos López, Ramirez, Bustos y los de la siguiente generación, Peñaloza o Varela, ha servido de pretexto seudorevisionista, para justificar con el elogio a los nombrados y la crítica a Juan Manuel de Rosas.
Quiroga era una persona realmente democrática, al aceptar un sistema federal, del que no era partidario, como lo manifiesta en una carta a Rosas, haciendo la salvedad de aceptarlo porque tal era la voluntad de los pueblos.
Quiroga asoma la cabeza gritando quien manda esta partida!, pero recibe un balazo en un ojo de Santos Pérez.

Después de consultar a Rosas, Maza envió al antiguo caudillo de La Rioja, Juan Facundo Quiroga, a mediar entre ellos pero, mientras Quiroga se dirigía a cumplir dicha misión, se enteró de que Latorre había sido vencido por Heredia y asesinado (mientras regresaba a Buenos Aires, el caudillo riojano fue también asesinado).

It is hard to get really a good account of Juan Facundo Quiroga because he is such a vague figure in Argentinian history.
Facundo is a gaucho and is interpreted by Sarmiento as a dicator who made is way to the top by hate and carelessness and is partially at fault for the state of "deterioration" that Argentina was presently in during mid-19th century Argentina.
Comment: It's difficult to classify "Facundo" written by Domingo Faustino Sarmiento (argentine thinker, politician and educator) in 1845: it is at the same time history, myth, essay, pamphelt and sociological discourse.

 Powell's Books - Latin American Literature and Culture #12: Facundo by Domingo F Sarmiento
Facundo is his study of the Argentine character, a prescription for the modernization of Latin America, and a protest against the tyranny of the government of Juan Manuel de Rosas (1835-52).
The book brings nineteenth-century Latin American history to life even as it raises questions that are still being debated, today--questions regarding the treatment of indigenous and African populations, the classical liberal plan of modernization, and more.
Facundo's vibrant portraits of gaucho characters and of Juan Facundo Quiroga's life and assassination, much celebrated and frequently anthologized, give readers an exhilarating sense of Argentine culture in the making.
