Descripción

In-8. 70p. Bound in half black calf marbled boards. He fought against Governor Juan Pablo López, of Santa Fe, who had just crossed over, catching him at Colastiné and causing him a terrible defeat in April 1842. He made the subsequent Entre Ríos campaign, and led the left wing of the federal army in the Battle of Arroyo Grande. The governor sent him to the interior of the province to gather troops for Paz's army, but Flores agreed with Colonel Hilario Lagos, and on December 2 they spoke out against Governor Alsina. Lagos demanded that he be replaced by Flores, but when Alsina resigned from the government, the legislature elected Manuel Pinto instead. For a while, Flores collaborated with the site in Buenos Aires, but suddenly and without informing or justifying himself to anyone he emigrated to Montevideo. He had with him a large sum of money, which he had to recruit people in the countryside. For a while, the feds still counted Flores as one of their own. But at the end of June 1853, Flores landed in Baradero, in the north of the province, and began to gather people to support the government of Buenos Aires; the money he had taken was now used against those who had given it to him. A few days before, Admiral John Coe had sold his fleet to Buenos Aires. The siege was hastily lifted, and Flores was reinstated in the army. Curiously, less than a month later, he was discharged again, without knowing exactly why. It is not at all clear, then, why he campaigned against Lagos. He returned to Montevideo, where he once again came into contact with the federals in Buenos Aires. CodBos1. N° de ref. del artículo ABE-1668792348219
