The man, myfriend, is a Gaucho; and we are standing on the Pampas of the ArgentineRepublic. Let us examine this dexterous wielder of the knife and cord. _He, Juan deDios!_ Come hither, O Centaur of the boundless cattle-plains! We will notask you to dismount, --for that you never do, we know, except to eat andsleep, or when your horse falls dead, or tumbles into a _bizcachero_; butwe want to have a look at your savage self, and the appurtenancesthereunto belonging. And first, you say, the meanin...g of his name. The title, Gaucho, is appliedto the descendants of the early Spanish colonists, whose homes are on thePampa, instead of in the town, --to the rich _estanciero_, or owner ofsquare leagues of cattle, in common with the savage herdsman whom heemploys, --to Generals and Dictators, as well as to the most ragged Pampa-Cossack in their pay. Our language is incapable of expressing the ideaconveyed by this term; and the Western qualification "backwoodsman" isperhaps the nearest approach to a synonyme that we can attain.
