Argolo edit

Latest comment: 1 year ago2 comments1 person in discussion

Esposito's book says the commander of the 1st Brazilian division was general "Francisco Argolo", however he was only 19 years old at the time, which makes me doubt the source is correct. I'm almost certain this is wrong. The issue is that all other sources I could find so far only refer to the commander of the 1st Division as "Argolo", not specifying which Argolo they're referring to (there were at least three commanders named Argolo at the time, as they were from the same family, see: Alexandre Gomes de Argolo Ferrão and his son Alexandre Gomes de Argolo Ferrão Filho for example).

Whigham 2017, p. 84 says "At noon, a fresh Brazilian division commanded by a forty-five-year-old brigadier from Bahia, Alexandre Gomes Argolo Ferrão, replaced Guilherme’s and the fight started all over again".

The age seems to indicate the commander was in fact Alexandre Gomes de Argolo Ferrão Filho, although this passage is not talking about the battle of Tuyutí, this is the only Argolo that is talked about in the book. Torimem (talk) 02:01, 5 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
