Durante el amanecer del 1° de enero de 1872, un grupo de criollos asesinó 36 extranjeros en distintos puntos del partido de Tandil. Sin pruebas ni juicio, rápidamente se señaló al curandero Jerónimo Solané, conocido como “Tata Dios”, como el instigador y culpable de lo que se conoció como “las matanzas del Tandil”. Si bien la historiografía académica reconsideró este hecho desde nuevos enfoques, en este artículo, especialistas en inmigración, justicia y cuestiones religiosas del siglo XIX analizan por primera vez, minuciosamente y desde distintos ángulos, el expediente judicial que se conserva en el Museo Histórico del Fuerte Independencia de Tandil. Incorporan otras fuentes documentales y plantean sugerentes interrogantes y reflexiones acerca de las matanzas, pero también de los procesos socioeconómicos en los que se enmarca el hecho. Na madrugada de 1º de janeiro de 1872, um grupo de crioulos assassinou 36 estrangeiros em diferentes partes do distrito de Tandil. Sem provas ou julgamento, o curandeiro Jerônimo Solané, conhecido como “Tata Dios”, foi rapidamente identificado como o instigador e culpado do que ficou conhecido como os “massacres de Tandil”. Embora a historiografia acadêmica tenha reconsiderado esse evento a partir de novas perspectivas, neste artigo, especialistas em imigração, justiça e questões religiosas do século XIX analisam pela primeira vez, em detalhes e sob diferentes ângulos, o arquivo judicial mantido no Museu Histórico do Forte Independência em Tandil. Eles incorporam outras fontes documentais e levantam questões e reflexões sugestivas sobre os massacres, mas também sobre os processos socioeconômicos nos quais o evento está enquadrado.
