Description: "Interesting, almost folkloric account of Francisco de los Santos, a minor figure in Artigas' army about whom many improbable tales have been spun. Fails to resolve the many questions and inconsistencies in the Santos story, but does offer some insights into the role of the African in 19th-century Uruguay"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 181-185).
