Word Origin and History of Argentina: "A republic in south South America. 1,084,120 square miles. (2,807,870 square kilometers). "South American nation, from Latin argentinus 'of silver' (see argent); a Latinized form of (Rio) de la Plata, from Spanish plata 'silver'." http: //www.dictionary.com/browse/argentina W Bollaert; Observations on the Past and Present Populations of the New World; Transactions of the Anthropological Society of London; 1863 W Bollaert writes: "The Argentine Republic has at present a population of about 1,750,000 Argentinos, composed of Whites, few Mestizoes, and romanized Indians, also some 50,000 wild Indians. As this is a very healthy portion of South America, it is particularly well suited for the breeding of horses, cattle, and sheep, also for agricultural and mining pursuits; it bids fair in a few years to be in a most satisfactory condition, with its railroads now being made to traverse the great Pampas of Buenos Ayres."
