About This Book

Un cuaderno de campaña y memoria técnica registra un reconocimiento de la línea fronteriza de Buenos Aires orientado a ensancharla y mejorar su defensa. Recoge observaciones astronómicas y mediciones geográficas para fijar puntos, lagunas y cursos de agua que sirvieron de base a trabajos geodésicos posteriores. Detalla recorridos y emplazamientos propuestos para fuertes, discutiendo ventajas y defectos de una disposición uniforme de puestos. Propone la creación de colonias militares y la ocupación de islas como medios de control y de fomento demográfico frente a las prácticas de trato con los caciques. Denuncia abusos en la enajenación de la tierra y la desprotección por propietarios ausentes, y ofrece recomendaciones operativas y administrativas para la seguridad fronteriza.
