"Sólo por extensión se aplica ahora el nombre de gaucho al criollo de la montaña y de la zona subtropical. El paisano de las llanuras se cas del interior tenía otra sangre, en mucha ma yor proporción mezclada con la de diversas razas indígenas, y otras costumbres y medios de vida. Era trapero; no se dedicaba a la ganadería, sino a la industria de transporte, con recuas de mulas o con carretas tiradas por*bueyes. A causa de los accidentes del terreno, opuestos. A la configuración geográfica de las pampas litorales, creó la gue rra de montoneras, contra el español, muy distin ta de la guerra gaucha, que lo fué de desierto y campamento, contra ...el indio. El gaucho ha sido, por tanto, un tipo local y transitorio. 'no obsta ello a su trascendencia en la historia patria, pues superaba, por razones de raza, de espíritu y de clima, a los demás criollos, y ocupó las regiones más dilatadas y favorables del país."--Amazon.com.
