First sentence: Thomas Turner, the River Plate correspondent of The Times in the 1880s, suggested in his memoirs: There are many otherwise well-informed persons, we believe, who still entertain the antiquated notion that the Argentine Republic is a wild and lawless region, of vast territorial extent, sparsely populated, and mainly the resort of desperate characters, ready at any moment to break out into political revolt, where murder is rife, and life and property ill-protected.
