Blanco y Colorado: Old Days among the Gauchos of Uruguay

About the author
William C. Tetley is known for Blanco y Colorado: Old Days among the Gauchos of Uruguay, a memoir-style work first published in 1921 and now available through public-domain libraries such as Project Gutenberg and HathiTrust.
Reliable biographical information about the author himself is limited. Search results for his name often point to a different, much better documented William Tetley — the Canadian lawyer and professor William Aubrey Tetley — so details about the writer of Blanco y Colorado are hard to confirm with confidence.
What can be said safely is that Tetley left behind an atmospheric account of gaucho life in Uruguay, and that book remains the main reason readers still encounter his name today.
