About the author
Carlos Navarro y Lamarca was an Argentine historian who lived from 1868 to 1921. Surviving catalog and reference records identify him as a historian from Argentina, and his work is now in the public domain.
He is chiefly known for Compendio de la historia general de América, published in Buenos Aires in 1910 with a prologue by Eduardo de Hinojosa. The book presents him as a Doctor of Law and Social Sciences from the University of Buenos Aires and as trained in historical studies at the Central University of Madrid.
His books suggest a writer interested in giving readers a broad, structured view of American and Hispanic American history. Even from the title pages alone, he comes across as a scholar aiming to connect academic history with a wider reading public during the era of Argentina's centennial.
