I'm in a hurry here, but I did learn several things: there's a
province in Argentina called Salta, which borders Formosa. This is
confusing. Salta is descended from an intendency, and had its very
own battle, which was followed by attacks from the viceroyalty. You
can find all this on Wikipedia.
J.L.S. has published an article with a pun in the title. The hymn he
refers to, though usually sung as a Christmas carol, was actually
aimed at Advent,
