The Tenth of April, 1848 - it's incredibilities. (This is a chapter from a historical book. Quote: This is but a sample of the airy, false, and fictionary foundation on which the Legend of the Tenth of April was built. These incidents of historic perversion, though bygones of half a century ago, are worth remembering.)

Historia de los Diez Años de la Administracion de Don Manuel Mott - por B. Vicuña Mackenna.
The "advertencia" at the beginning of the book goes from page 7 to page 13 and gives an overview of the author's sources, diaries and interviews, and the direction his book takes. Use the pdf scan of the actual book. The text formats are unreliable. Copyright 1862.
https://archive.org/details/historiadelosdi03vicu
Diez Meses de Mision a los Estados Unidos de Norte America Como Ajente Confidencial de Chile - por B. Vicuña Mackenna. Copyright 1867. Use the pdf of the actual book scan. The text scans are highly unreliable.
This book looks very interesting. According to the author, it is "...una reseña estrictamente documentada de todas mis operaciones como Ajente confidencial de Chile en los Estados Unidos de Norte-América, desde mi partida de Valparaiso en octubre de 1865 hasta mi regreso a Chile en julio de 1866." From what I can tell from sort of scanning here and there through the book, he covers his efforts to influence unofficially and somewhat covertly, the U.S. government to aid Chile in its war against Spain. During his trip he meets with many prominent people of various South American nations also involved in their own wars with Spain, which was trying to reassert its influence in Latin American countries.
