General doctor Benigno Ferreira

"Informative but disjointed biography of Ferreira (1846-1920), a key figure among anti-López exiles during the 1860s, and later a member of the Legión Paraguaya, head of the postwar National Guard, and eventually president (1906-08). Repeats dubious claim that the Standard Oil Company engineered the outbreak of the Chaco War"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
