Notes on the History of Argentine Independence
by Charles W. Whittemore
About the author
Charles W. Whittemore is known today through a small body of historical writing focused on Argentina, including Notes on the Early History of Buenos Aires and Notes on the History of Argentine Independence. Project Gutenberg lists him as the author of Notes on the History of Argentine Independence, helping preserve his work for modern readers.
The latter work was presented as a paper read before the American Club in Buenos Aires on February 6, 1920, which places Whittemore in an English-speaking community engaged with Argentine history at the time. His writing centers on major political and colonial turning points, especially the development of Buenos Aires and the events that shaped Argentine independence.
Reliable biographical details about his personal life are limited in the sources I could confirm, so much of his background remains unclear. What does come through clearly is his interest in explaining the history of Argentina in a direct, informative way for general readers.
