| Sumario: | During the dawn of January 1st, 1872, a group of Creoles murdered 36 foreigners in different parts of the Tandil district. Without evidence or trial, the healer Jerónimo Solané, known as “Tata Dios”, was quickly identified as the instigator and culprit of what became known as “the Tandil massacres”. Although the academic historiography reconsidered this fact from new approaches, in this article, specialists in immigration, justice and religious issues of the 19th century analyze for the first time, in detail and from different angles, the judicial file kept in the Historical Museum of Fort Independencia in Tandil. They incorporate other documentary sources and raise suggestive questions and reflections about the massacres, but also about the socioeconomic processes in which the event is framed. |
