Francis Ignacio Rickard, aka Francis Ignatius Ricarde-Seaver (1837 -1906)[biographies of Argentine railway men]
Francis Ignacio Rickard was an English military engineer whose work paved the way for the development of the mining industry in our country. Based in Chile for many years, went to Argentina at the request of the governor of San Juan Domingo Faustino Sarmiento. After completing its task in that province he moved to Buenos Aires, where he was appointed Inspector of Mines National President Bartolomé Mitre. In the following years he traveled throughout the country examining the richest mineral districts, drawing plans, relaying data and recommending to the authorities to adopt rules that would end up being the basis of the current legislation governing the activity. But the good thing is that Rickard was also an alert and observant traveler with a great capacity to relate their experiences. Of these narrative skills was born a book published in London in 1863 under the title A miner trip through the Great Andes with explorations in the mining districts of the provinces of San Juan and Mendoza and a trip through the Pampas to Buenos Ayres, posterity aptly abbreviated as "Journey through the Andes."
