PEREZ PINZON, Luis Rubén. The Battle of Cachirí (1816). Historical and Monumental Representations about the Custodio García Rovira Military Defeat. Anu.hist.reg.front. [online]. 2017, vol.22, n.1, pp.71-87. ISSN 0122-2066.  https://doi.org/10.18273/revanu.v22n1-2017003.

Historical representations about the fall of the neogranadina federation and the reinstatement of the vice-royal regime are associated with the Custodio García Rovira military actions, especially the defeat of the Union at the Battle of Cachirí (February 1816). Since the contrast of different historical versions and the analysis of a discourse about a military, fact, the article compares the memories of the main character of the Campaign of liberation with the centenary handbooks, the stories of the bicentennial and the oral tradition, concluding that each version validates the victor’s explanation and it makes historical revisionisms that justify the mistakes of the defeated martyr.
