Early life

Borgoño was born on 5 September 1836 in Trujillo, Peru. His father, Pedro Antonio Borgoño y Núñez [es],^[1] was born in Petorca, Chile; he was a veteran of the Peruvian War of Independence and reached the rank of brigadier general in the Peruvian Army.^[2]^[3] His mother, Manuela Castañeda y Madalengoitia, was a native of Trujillo.^[1] He had a sister named Enriqueta Borgoño de Abril.^[4]

Borgoño began his education at the Colegio Seminario San Carlos y San Marcelo [es], a school in Trujillo, in 1847. Five years later, he finished his schooling there and took over the administration of his family's plantation in the Chicama Valley.^[1] He was only sixteen when his father put him in charge of the plantation, which was called "Tulape".^[1]^[5] He would remain at Tulape for four years, where he was described as an uncommonly hard worker.^[6] He was married to Jesús Salas de la Torre Urraca.^[7]

Military career

In 1856, at the age of twenty, Borgoño left Tulape and joined the Peruvian Army as a lieutenant.^[1] He had been inspired by his father's lengthy and accomplished service.^[6] He quickly became involved in combat; that same year, the Peruvian Civil War of 1856–1858 had broken out across the country. Fighting on the side of the previously established government, and against the forces of Manuel Ignacio de Vivanco, Borgoño took part in the capturing of the ports of Islay and Iquique in December 1856 and of the port of Arica in 1858.^[1]^[6] As a result of his service, he was promoted to captain.^[1] After the rebellion was defeated, Borgoño returned to Tulape and leased the property from his parents, where he continued administrating until the outbreak of the War of the Pacific.^[6]

After the War of the Pacific broke out in 1879, Borgoño returned to military service; he organized the Libres de Trujillo battalion less than two weeks after the beginning of the war.^[6] The battalion was assigned to safeguard La Punta to protect Peru from a possible landing by the invading Chilean Army, and then transferred to the Morro Solar in Chorrillos. On 13 January 1881, during the Battle of San Juan and Chorrillos, Borgoño, who had reached the rank of colonel, sustained an injury to his right leg and was taken prisoner.^[1]^[6] Three months later, his release was brokered by Chilean general Cornelio Saavedra Rodríguez, who was the friend of some of Borgoño's Chilean relatives. His wounds were attended to by medic Enrique Arias Soto.^[8]

Although Borgoño had promised not to take up arms following his release from captivity, he was appointed General Commander of La Libertad in July 1881, a position he held until the following June.^[1] Under General Miguel Iglesias, Borgoño led a division which fought in San Pablo on 13 July 1882, leading to a Peruvian victory.^[9] Later, Iglesias and Andrés Avelino Cáceres entered conflict due to Iglesias' calls for peace through the cessation of territory to Chile;^[10] despite Borgoño's previous service under Iglesias, he declared loyalty to Cáceres and relocated to Tarma, where he took control of the 2nd Zepita Battalion. In Tarma, he was again injured during the Battle of Huamachuco,^[6] the final major battle of the War of the Pacific.

Borgoño in 1885

Following Peru's defeat in the War of the Pacific in 1883, Borgoño remained loyal to Cáceres, who appointed Borgoño as General Commander of the forces of La Libtertad. Borgoño denounced Iglesias' presidency and supported Cáceres as the rightful president of Peru. In 1884, he was designated as the Commander in Chief of the Northern Army but declined the position. During that year, he was also named the General Commander and Prefect of Arequipa, and served as the interim Minister of War and Navy until February 1885.^[1]^[6]

Borgoño served under Cáceres in the Peruvian Civil War of 1884–1885, combated between the forces of Iglesias and Cáceres.^[3] From July 1885 to November 1885, as commander of the Army's 1st Division, Borgoño participated in battles and confrontations in Masma, Canta, Huaripampa, and Chicla, eventually leading to the capture of Lima in December of that year.^[1] Iglesias surrendered and was exiled, while Cáceres took the presidency in June 1886.^[3] Borgoño was tasked with the disarmament of Iglesias' remaining forces in Cajamarca, La Libertad, and Lambayeque.^[6]

Political career

Borgoño in 1894

After Piérola took office as President, Borgoño decided to leave Peru and relocate to Argentina; there, he once again returned to agriculture. In 1901, he returned to Peru and was appointed as the President of the Council of General Officers, a position he held until his retirement.^[1]

Later life and death

Bust of Borgoño

Following his retirement from politics, Borgoño moved to Ancón, Lima.^[11] He resided there until his death on 27 January 1921, at the age of 84.^[1]^[12] He was buried at the San Juan de la Cruz barracks.^[13] A street in Miraflores, Lima, was renamed in his honor; Calle General Borgoño extends eleven blocks and passes around the Huaca Pucllana.^[14] Additionally, a bust depicting him was erected in his hometown of Trujillo in 2013. It was later stolen from its pedestal by thieves.^[15]
