Bartolomé Mitre:

As a young man, he takes part in the political and military conflicts in his country, before and after the National Constitution was adopted (1853). He plays a decisive role in the signature of a union pact providing for the constitutional reform.

He is appointed Governor of the Province of Buenos Aires and in 1862 he is elected President of Argentina. During his term of office, he lays the foundations for the organization and pacification of the country.

Once he leaves office, he conducts diplomatic negotiations with Brazil. Away from political engagements, he finds shelter in intense intellectual activity (by 1858 he had published his Historia de Belgrano y de la Independencia Argentin) (History of Belgrano and the Independence of Argentina). He then devotes to writing Historia de San Martín y la Emancipación Sudamericana (History of San Martín and the Emancipation of South America). He conducts further historical research, makes an incursion in poetry and the translation of classics.

He takes part in conflictive national episodes such as the 1880 crisis and the 1890 revolution. His influence on national events is made felt through his writings for La Nación newspaper, founded in 1870.
