This article presents information about the book "Don Segundo Sombra. Shadows on the Pampas," by Ricardo Guiraldes and translated by Harriet de Onis. The different aspects of the book have a common denominator, the thing sensed in it by everybody who reads it. It is unmistakably an American book. Don Segundo Sombra, the hero of the book, rides into the life of a boy who tells the story when that boy is a small-town tough, escaping from two pious and petty "aunts" to go fishing and to hang around saloons. As he broke green horses, as he dominated broncos, so he dominated life itself.
