Note 157 — ASOCIACIÓN Domingo F. Sarmiento
Reading edition
estas dos frases, i.e., ¡En Chile! ¡y a pie! In a foreign land! and on foot! Chile, moreover, being a mountainous country, ill suits the gaucho accustomed as he is to the plains of Argentina. Being horseless is of course always a calamity for a gaucho, whether in the pampa or far from it.
