To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He picked a spot in front of the present "Frigorifico La Blanca/' and the place is still commemorated by the street name of "Pedro Mendoza" which there follows the w^ater-front. He called his settlement ''La Ciudad de Santa Maria de los Buenos Aires/ ^ It seems rather in- congrous that any settlement on the ' ' Eiaclmelo " should be distinguished for its ''Buenos Aires/ ^ except per- haps in a Pickwickian sense, although time and "frigorificos'^ work won- derous change. However, the name was se...lected, not because of the pleasant and salubrious qualities of the atmos- phere, but because "Santa Maria de los Buenos Aires'' or "Buenos Vientos" was the patron saint of mariners. The foun- dation was made mth all formalities in January, 1536, some doubt existing as to the exact day. I gather that the new city was provided with all Municipal ne- cessities : church, "cabildo, " jail and gallows. No provision was made for the education of children — there were none. The river front from Quilmes to San Fernando was then covered with a thick forest, in which chroniclers say the "ti- gres, " which I understand to mean ja- guars, were so numerous and aggressive that the colonists never dared leave their homes except in parties and fully armed.
