Who was José Félix Aldao?

José Félix Esquivel y Aldao was an Argentine Dominican friar who became a General and then the undisputed Federist caudillo of Mendoza Province. His ability as a soldier and his cruelty became legendary. The largely fictionalized biography that Domingo Faustino Sarmiento wrote fed his legend. An effective ruler, he did much for his province, but was also one of the cruelest of the federalist leaders.
