Miguel Agustin Pérez

Miguel Agustin Pérez is known today mainly through the public-domain record of his book Figuras americanas: Galería de hombres illustres, available through Project Gutenberg. The work presents short biographies of important American figures and was written in Spanish.

From the book's prefatory material, he comes across as a writer interested in education as much as history. He set out to celebrate not only famous heroes such as Washington and Bolívar, but also other men and women whose lives could serve as examples for younger readers.

Reliable biographical details about his life are hard to confirm from the sources I found, so it is safest to describe him simply as a Spanish-language author remembered for historical and biographical writing.
