The inscription to the ffep notes the work was “from the author.”

“This volume narrates the adventures of several English settlers on the Pampas, of the Argentine Republic, who suffered many hardships and losses, from the incursions of the equestrian savages of the plains. The narrative affords us many particulars of some of the least known tribes of South America, whose barbarities in their depredations are narrated in a manner so vivid and circumstantial, as to insure the interest of every reader” (Field).
