Where can I find information about the Paraguayan difficulties. An Executive Document Number 79, 1.869? Thanks!
I am reading about the Triple Alliance war or Paraguayan War 1.865 – 1.870
and I would like to read (is if possible) the documents or hearings about the congress investigation called Paraguayan Difficulties. The Congressional Committee investigating "Paraguayan Difficulties" (March - October 1869)
Thanks!
Answer
Thank you for your question. I don't think this document is available for free online, but our library has access through the subscription database ProQuest Congressional.
I have downloaded the full document and attached it here as a PDF. Let me know if you are unable to access it. The document is in two parts, but this is all of it. Part 2 begins at frame 97 in this single PDF file.
This is other identifying information on the document:
