Summary: "An Account of the Abipones, an Equestrian People of Paraguay" by Martin Dobrizhoffer is a historical account likely written in the early 19th century. This work chronicles the experiences and observations of Dobrizhoffer, who served as a missionary among the Abipones and other indigenous groups in Paraguay for nearly two decades. The book thoroughly explores the dynamics between the Abipones, their alliances, and their ongoing conflicts with the Spanish colonizers, highlighting the cultural and societal characteristics of this equestrian people. The opening of the account introduces the hostile and defiant nature of the Abipones, emphasizing their refusal to submit to Spanish authority despite attempts by the Spanish to pacify them through military force and religious conversion. It discusses their strategic use of natural defenses and their formidable horsemanship, which made them a persistent threat in the region. The text sets the stage for a narrative filled with conflict, resistance, and the complex interactions between the indigenous peoples and European settlers, while hinting at the cultural richness and resilience of the Abipones amidst this turmoil.
