CASTRO VALDEBENITO, Hugo. Aconcagüinos in the History of Chile: Letter from Pedro Antonio Ramírez to Benjamín Vicuña Mackenna about the Popular Uprisings in San Felipe on October 14, 1851. Hist. Soc. [online]. 2019, n.36, pp.271-286.  Epub 17-Maio-2019. ISSN 0121-8417.  https://doi.org/10.15446/hys.n36.66664.

The present documentary transcription sheds light into the historical value of a private letter sent by a participant of the uprisings and popular uprisings registered in the city of San Felipe during the so-called Revolution or Civil War of Chile in 1851. The missive presented and transcribed constitutes an exercise of written historical memory, which was requested by the Chilean politician, writer and historian Benjamín Vicuña Mackenna to Pedro Antonio Ramírez in order to nourish the historical research that gave rise to the work History of the day of April 20, 1851. The document contrasts a dissenting version of the official historiographical discourse against the narration of the armed events of October 14, 1851 in the province of Aconcagua. Especially, regarding the participation of the Sanfelipeño people -neighbors, artisans, militias and the people in general- in the revolutionary actions organized and led by the liberal opposition taking advantage of the local discontent that was brewing in the province against the authoritarian centralism in the capital.
