| Summary | "Ulrich Schmidel" by Robert Lehmann-Nitsche is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The text recounts the adventures and observations of Ulrich Schmidel, who is recognized as the first historian of the Rio de la Plata region. It captures a pivotal era in South American history, focusing on European exploration and colonization, particularly between the years 1535 and 1555. The book presents a detailed narrative of Schmidel's experiences as he journeys from Europe to the newly discovered lands of La Plata, detailing the challenges faced, the interactions with Indigenous populations, and the establishment of settlements such as Buenos Aires. Schmidel provides vivid descriptions of the land, its people, and the socio-political dynamics of the time. His observations not only serve as a personal account of his life as a soldier and explorer but also contribute valuable insights into the early colonial expeditions, conflicts with Native American tribes, and the pursuit of wealth through precious metals, establishing a foundation for understanding Argentina's historical context.
