About this Item
Description:
Broadside, approximately 11 1/2 x 7 1/2 inches. Printed on light blue paper. Early folds. Ownership ink stamp between third and fourth lines of text, small numerical ink inscription in upper right corner. A few small holes affecting only a few characters of text; chipping in upper right and lower left corners with loss to six characters of text in the latter. White paper affixed to verso reinforcing two folds and areas of loss. Very light staining. Good. A stirring proclamation by South American liberator José de San Martín to the people of Chile shortly before his departure from that country for Peru. In 1820, two years after Chile declared and effectively won its independence from Spain, San Martín assembled a Pacific fleet to sail from Chile to Peru and aid in the struggle for independence there. The Chilean Navy's fleet of eight warships and sixteen transport ships set sail from Valparaíso on August 20 and at Paracas, Peru on September 7. San Martín's forces immediately attacked and seized the city of Pisco, beginning a long campaign of battle and diplomacy that helped lead to Peru's full liberation in 1824. The present broadside is signed in print by San Martín in Santiago, June 17, 1820. As he prepares for the journey to Peru, he calls on Chileans to keep peace and order during his absence and encourages patience with the young government. He concludes with a powerful declaration of the importance of the final stage of South America's fight for independence: "Compatriots! I am going to open the most memorable campaign of our revolution: on it hangs the consolidation of our destinies, the hopes of this vast continent, the fate of our families, the fortune of our friends, in short the sacred thing that is our honor. Entrusted in the justice of our cause, and under the protection of the Supreme Being, I promise you victory, and I do not doubt that she will crown.the perseverance of the brave ones who accompany me." A rare and powerful document. OCLC locates only one copy, at the John Carter Brown Library. Seller Inventory # WRCAM39282
