Abstract:
Whilst much illuminating research has been conducted into
early British diplomatic and commercial activity in the River Plate, few scholars have yet focused upon the lives of individual settlers in any detail. The present article moves some way towards redressing this imbalance through the study of the Gibsons, a prominent
Argentine-Scottish family with pioneering interests in commerce and sheep breeding. The analysis gives special weight to letters exchanged by the brothers Robert and George Gibson during the late 1830s,
casting light upon the incomers' perspective of political turbulence as dissident forces fought to depose the dictator Juan
Manuel de Rosas.
