“Charles Darwin, who had witnessed the
atrocities perpetrated against Argentina’s native
Indians by Juan Manuel de Rosas, had predicted
that “the country will be in the hands of white
Gaucho savages instead of copper-coloured Indians.
The former being a little superior in education,
as they are inferior in every moral virtue.”
Jon Lee Anderson, Che Guevara: A Revolutionary Life

“with Ernestito riding on the front of his father’s
saddle; and river excursions aboard the Kid, a
wooden launch with a four-berth cabin that Ernesto
had built at the Astillero San Isidro. Once,
they traveled upriver to the famous Iguazú falls,
where the Argentine and Brazilian borders
meet, and watched the clouds of vapor rise from
the brown cascades that roar down from the virgin
jungle cliffs.”
Jon Lee Anderson

“One day in May 1930, Celia took her twoyear-
old son for a swim at the yacht club, but it
was already the onset of the Argentine winter,
cold and windy. That night, the little boy had
a coughing fit. A doctor diagnosed him as suffering
from asthmatic bronchitis and prescribed
the normal remedies, but the attack lasted for
several days. Ernestito had developed chronic
asthma, which would afflict him for the rest of
his life and irrevocably change the course of his
parents’ lives.”
