Catecismo de Geografía (1856)
By Guim, Malte-Brun, Letrone, Torrente among other
Ediciones Nueva Mayoría - elaleph.com - Colección Facsímiles 1

Border disputes and the Patagonia have been the reason for confrontation between Chile and Argentina for the last one hundred and twenty five years. However, rather than geographical, economic, military or political this conflict has been purely cultural.
The textbook used by Argentine schools in 1856, Catecismo de la Geografía, taught students that Patagonia was not part of any of the nations that later struggled for its possession but a separate country.

Nueva Mayoría along with elaleph.com publish this vehement historical document in its free virtual edition.
