context_page_description: José Santiago Albarracín 1 was an Argentine soldier who fought on the Unitarian side in many engagements in the Argentine Civil Wars, especially in the struggles against Chacho Peñaloza.
context_section_description: Albarracín was ordered by Paz to Córdoba Province, where he fought on the Unitarian side in the
  battles of San Roque, La Tablada and Oncativo.   
  In this last battle he was a Colonel and commanded a regiment of Cuirassiers that Paz had formed.
  Albarracín invaded San Juan Province and deposed the Governor Juan Aguilar.
  He went on to Mendoza Province, where he defeated the Federalist forces that remained after Governor Juan Rege Corvalán fled,
  fighting two small engagements in La Estacada and beside the Río Tunuyán. 
  After Facundo Quiroga invaded Cuyo, he came under the orders of General Gregorio Aráoz de Lamadrid in Tucumán Province,
  and participated in the Battle of La Ciudadela, where the Unitarian League of the Interion was finally defeated.
  He emigrated to Bolivia, and then to Peru.
  He returned to San Juan in 1825 and accompanied the governor Martin Yanzón in his absurd invasion of La Rioja Province, where they were defeated. 
  He fled to Chile when La Rioja counterattacked, and remained there for many years.
  On 27 November 1835 Albarracín married doña Flora Rojo, vice president of the Charitable Society of San Juan, daughter of José Rudecindo Rojo and Jacinta Angulo.
  They had two children, Jacinta in 1840, and Ignacio Lucas in 1850.
  In 1845 he traveled to Montevideo, from where he moved to Corrientes Province to join the army of General Paz. 
  He participated in Paz's abortive revolution against Governor Joaquín Madariaga and went into exile in Paraguay and Brazil with General Paz. 
  He traveled through Chile, California, Mexico and the United States.
