Here we present transcripts of three diaries about the trips carried out in the years of 1786, 1787 and 1788 and a list of the captives rescued during these three voyages. These documentary sources produced by Manuel Pinazo, the commander, give us information about the everyday events in the field, the state of the roads, the availability of resources for the expeditioners, the interactions with caciques and indigenous groups as well as the diverse strategies implemented by the colonial agents, the troop and the other members of the expedition in order to move around places distant from the puestos fronterizos and close to the indigenous tolderías. In this writing we analyze the territorial dimension of the locations where the individuals that participated in these colonial expeditions interacted with the indigenous groups that approached them, highlighting the strategies of knowledge and control implemented by the different actors that circulated between the guardia de Luján and the Salinas Grandes. http://journals.openedition.org/corpusarchivos/2608Interethnic relationsexpeditionsSalinas Grandesitineraries
