Pioneering in the Pampas is in English and contains 156 pages. An actual historical racconto of the vicissitudes of two young British gentlemen in the Argentine pampas of 1865. In the author’s own words, …the simple narration of the difficulties which beset the settler in the first few years of his enterprise, more particularly when he has been tempted to fix himself outside the older settlements, and to be, as in the case of the writer and his companions, in the truest sense of the word, a Pioneer . Pioneering in the Pampas constitutes the historical basis, which inspired Juan Carlos Casas to write his novel Fraile Muerto .
