Biography of Alejo Peyret by María Marta Quinodoz

ALEXIS PIERRE LOUIS EDOUARD PEYRET was born on December 11, 1826 in Serres Castet, Canton of Morlaàs, department of Basses-Pyrénées, today Pyrénées-Atlantiques, [1] the son of Alexis Agustin Peyret and Cacile Angelique Vignancour.

A student from the age of ten at the Royal College of Pau, at the age of eighteen, in 1844, he earned his Bachelor's degree in Sciences and Letters. He did not fulfill his compulsory military service, preferring the option of authorized substitution [2], which permitted him to be replaced by another person to whom a prearranged sum was paid. [3] He studied law at the College of France in Paris, where he studied under the philosopher Edgar Quinet and the historian Jules Michelet. In various editorials, he made plain his support for the Revolution of February 1848, and for the republican, democratic, anticlerical, and socialist communities of Béarn. For this, he was tried and later acquitted. [4]

In the elections of 1852, at twenty-five years of age, he stood as a candidate for deputy of the Department of Basses-Pyrénées. When President Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte declared himself Emperor Napoléon III, Peyret left the country. [5]

He arrived in Montevideo on November 4, 1852. From this city, he defended the cause of the Argentine Confederation in El Comercio del Plata, a periodical edited by José María Cantilo. Alberto Larroque, president of the College of Uruguay (in Concepción del Uruguay) offered him a professorship [6]. The minister of Justice, Worship, and Public Instruction, Juan María Gutiérrez, designated him head of the French and Geography departments beginning June 5, 1855 [7]. He remained in this position until September 4, 1856 [8]. He served as an editor of the biweekly El Uruguay under the direction of Benjamín Victorica [9]. His initiative led to the creation of the Society of Mutual Aid "La Cosmopolita" [10] on August 31, 1856 in Concepción del Uruguay. In September of 1856 Peyret relocated to Paraná to assume control of El Nacional Argentino, an organization supporting the interests of the Confederation. He remained in Paraná until July of 1857 "except for one month's interruption (May - June) which I spent in Uruguay [Concepción del Uruguay] to see Euristela" [11]. Euristela refers to Josefa Auristela Caraballo, a.k.a. Auristela Acosta, a.k.a. Josefa Acosta, with whom he had his first two sons, Nieves Emilia and Luis Alejo.

On July 11, 1857, he was appointed administrator and director of Colonia San José by President Justo José de Urquiza [12]. In fulfillment of his instructions, he published a series of articles in El Uruguay in April, May, and June of 1860 in which he called upon the colonists to be hardworking, "whatever may be their religious opinions or the beliefs to which they subscribe" [13]. The notes were translated to French and collected in a pamphlet titled ''Emigration et Colonisation. La Colonie San José'' [14].

Under his direction, the colony began cultivating peanuts, potatoes, sweet potatoes, beans, onions, sugar beets, maize, and tobacco, and he introduced superior techniques for growing wheat. He appealed to Urquiza for new land on which to establish an experimental station for growing cotton. He was interested in sowing caper spurge, and requested silkworms with the aim of testing their adaptability. He built a factory for the manufacture of peanut oil. Over the course of thirteen years he served as administrator, director, justice of the peace, commissioner, president of the municipality of San José and officer of the first Civil Registry, which was created in 1873 in Colón to settle disputes between brides belonging to different religions [15]. He was named justice of the peace of San José by a decree of May 17, 1862, holding the office until 1864 [16], and was named president of the city council by a decree of August 11, 1863 [17]. Beginning in 1865 he was a member of the Public Works Commission of Colón, whose function was to oversee the construction of the church, collecting funds and reporting to the government on their investment [18]. Peyret resigned from the commission on December 31, 1872 [19]. When in 1866 the Provincial Statistical Executive annexed the Topographical Department [20], Peyret was appointed head of the Executive [21] and served in this role until 1869 [22]. He was married on July 7, 1866 in Colonia San José to María Celerina Pinget, born in Vinzier, Savoie, the daughter of Gabriel Pinget and Luisa Viollaz [23].

He was authorized to extend the territory of Colón [24]. According to the colony's scribes Rodolfo Pita and Benito Cook, the titles to the new plots were granted by Peyret between December 12, 1868 and February 28, 1869. Among these were several sold to his wife: "Lot Nº 49: 17/12/1868 - María Celerina Pinget: plot extending south to those of Messrs. Alberto Suñer and José Decaillet, east to the road to Mr. Ramón Alzugaray, north to the market square, and west to D. Policarpo Elías, which covers, from north to south and from east to west, half the block. Price $70. Scribe Rodolfo Pita. Lot Nº 90, May 15, 1869: Celerina Pinget, payment received today May 20, 1869, certificate delivered Alejo Peyret. Scribe Benito Cook. Lot Nº 91: Alejo Peyret, May 16, 1869, payment received today May 20, 1869. Price $70. Scribe Benito Cook."[25] He was named vice president of the third public works committee of Colón on July 12, 1868, an office without salary or benefits of any kind [27]. He was named a member of the auxiliary commission by the Province of Entre Ríos before the National Exposition of Córdoba [28] held between October 15 and January 21 of 1872. He received an honorable mention for his work with potato farming [29]. On January 3 he sent the chief commissioner of the Exposition a report on the state of Colonia San José and Villa de Colón and the prospect of future colonization of Entre Ríos Province [30].

When President Domingo Faustino Sarmiento made a visit to Colón and San José on February 6, 1870, it fell to Peyret, as chief of the "party committee", to arrange the official welcome [31].

Initiated into Freemasonry in France, Peyret became an active member of George Washington Lodge Nº 44 in Concepción del Uruguay [32], which he joined in 1864 [33]. In 1868 he received the third degree and became a master mason [34]. He served two consecutive terms as Orator, from 1877 to 1878 and 1878 to 1879. On October 25 he inaugurated the public conferences of the lodge [36]. In Buenos Aires he had already assisted, on January 16, 1887, in inaugurating the Lodge L'Amie des Naufrages, and had been named an honorary member [37].

He published Bearnese Stories in Concepción del Uruguay in 1870. The work was translated into French and Occitan in Paris in 1890 [38]. He did as much as he could to preserve the language of his native region [39] and his Bearnese Stories won the praise of the immortal Pierre-Jean de Béranger [40].

With Alfredo Ébelot he founded a periodical, Le Républicain, in Buenos Aires. Its five-month existence was brought to an end by an outbreak of yellow fever [41]. To his brother Emile he wrote in 1871: "Nieves and Alejo are with me, Alfonsina has gotten much bigger" [42]; and to his cousin Louis Casamajor Salenave on June 21, 1871: "If I'd been more active, more intelligent, more audacious, I would have been able to help them a long time ago, because it isn't that fortune failed me, but that I failed fortune. I would have needed to have a better sense of thrift, a value I've lacked my whole adult life. My wife is well, she wishes you well, we have a daughter who will soon be seven, born on the feast of Saint Alexius, she has a white complexion and blonde hair, and I think she reminds me of my poor niece or yours, if she lives she'll be beautiful, I hope someday you meet her." [43]

In August of 1871 he drafted [44] a plan for a Constitution for the French Republic, dedicated to president Louis-Adolphe Thiers and with a preface founded in his juridico-political theory [45]. The preface was later published in La República in November 1871 [46].

In April, 1872 he conceived the notion of a society with its objective as the creation and maintenance of a free public library. This was the origin of the Future Society, based in Concepción del Uruguay, which received the support of the George Washington Lodge [47]. He served as president of the fifth directive commission of the library in 1877, as vice president of the sixth commission in 1878, and speaker of the seventh commission in 1879 [48].

Alejo Peyret and Co. [49], on behalf of an anonymous society called "Colonizadora de Entre Ríos", purchased ten leagues from the government, encompassing the "homestead zone" of Villa Libertad created by the law of May 28, 1872 (in preparation for the sale of homesteads to colonization companies). He published a pamphlet titled "Some aspects of colonization with respect to the Province of Entre Ríos" [50]. The project of colonizing Villa Libertad was delayed by the second Jordanist uprising, which ended in defeat at Don Gonzalo on December 9, 1873. He was elected to the town council on March 2, 1873 by a popular vote of the people of Colón, and unanimously voted president for the period of March 23 to July 1 [51].

Beginning on June 9, 1873, he sent a series of unsigned letters to the Buenos Aires daily La República in which he denounced the assassination of Urquiza on April 11, 1870, and condemned the intervention against the Province of Entre Ríos, defending federalism and provincial autonomy. He opined that Ricardo López Jordán had embodied the hopes of the people of Entre Ríos, at the same time maintaining that the true aim of the armed intervention ordered by Domingo F. Sarmiento [53] was to assure the success of the presidential candidacy of Nicolás Avellaneda. He argued that although Dr. Leónidas Echagüe could not remain in control of the government of Entre Ríos, Ricardo López Jordán should not have replaced him so soon after Urquiza's violent death [54]. Peyret used this argument in response to accusations of crypto-Jordanism [55].

As only six of the fifteen letters sent were published, Peyret collected them into Letters on the Intervention against the Province of Entre Ríos, which he published under the pseudonym "A foreigner" [56]. The author's identity did not stay secret to his contemporaries, and this imprudence cost him the job of administrator of San José and forced him to leave the province where he had spent eighteen years [57]. In a letter to Benjamín Victorica written in Buenos Aires on March 3, 1874, he wrote "...It would have been better not to concern myself with politics. I don't know how I forgot the advice of Mr. Pedro de Angelis. I gave in to a moment of irritation and impatience, seeing that we had been thrown into another war which was to last an entire year. I am always at your service and believe you will remain always at mine, despite my recklessness" [58]. In march of 1874 he resigned his position as head of the colony and was replaced temporarily by Rodolfo Siegrist until April 30 [59]; in June, in Buenos Aires, Dolores Costa de Urquiza designated him the agent in charge of selecting and transporting colonists to the colony of Caseros [60].

On July 13, 1874 he was nominated by Dr. Vicente Fidel López, president of the University of Buenos Aires, to occupy the vacant chief professorship of the French department, in the Faculty of Humanities and Philosophy [61]; dean Andrés Lamas expressed his agreement and communicated with Peyret [62]. On April 13, 1876, Peyret sent his resignation from Concepción del Uruguay. On March 31 of 1876 he was named professor of world history for all six grades of the National College of Uruguay, and was subsequently appointed - in 1879 - to teach a special course on the history of free universities. He continued at the college until August 17, 1883, when he resigned in order to relocate to Buenos Aires [64].

The George Washington Lodge agreed in 1877 - at Peyret's proposal - to form a commission headed by Peyret to study "the situation afflicting numerous students who cannot pursue their studies due to lack of resources". This led to the establishment of the educational society La Fraternidad, which sought to protect and provide housing for students of the College of Urugay [65]. On August 23, 1880, he was named president of the provisional directive commission of the French Mutual Aid Society of Concepción del Uruguay and in 1882 was named its honorary president [66]. The Office of Territories and Colonies commissioned him in 1881 to make a study of the possibilities of the territory of Misiones, a study which inspired him to write thirty letters published in the daily La Tribuna Nacional under the name Letters on Misiones [67].

A decree signed by president Julio Argentino Roca on August 18, 1883 authorized Peyret, having relocated to Buenos Aires, to teach the history of the free universities at the National College of Buenos Aires, and he served this role until February 11, 1887 [69]. He wrote Contemporary History [70], a textbook which would be used in normal schools and national colleges [71]. In 1885 his book The Origins of Christianity was serialized in the Buenos Aires University Review, and the following year his work The American Thinker was published. At the same time he published History of Religions, which comprised a history and philosophical critique of prehistoric and historical religions and of Christianity. Another work on the subject was The Evolution of Christianity.

He was named Inspector of Colonies by a decree of president Miguel Juárez Celman on February 12, 1887 [72]. As a consequence of this role, he wrote A visit to the colonies of the Argentine Republic [73], written in Spanish in two volumes and submitted by the government to the Exposition Universelle in Paris. It was simultaneously published in French as Une visite aux colonies de la République Argentine [74].

On May 10, 1889, the national government commissioned Peyret to study the agricultural machinery displayed at the Exposition. He received six thousand pesos to cover his expenses and was to present a descriptive report before the end of the Exposition [75]. His report was titled The Agricultural Machines at the Universal Exposition of Paris.

He left for France on June 5, 1889 aboard the Río Negro with his wife Celerina Pinget and daughter Alfonsina; thirty-seven years had passed since his self-imposed exile to the Americas. The International Socialist Congress met in Paris between July 14 and 21, during which it established the Second International. Peyret reported his activities during these days in a letter addressed to the governor of Entre Ríos, Clemente Basavilbaso, published on July 28 in a Paraná daily. He spent only the 20th at the socialist congress - according to his letter - whose sessions lasted the entire day [76]. He left a more detailed account in his personal diary: on July 20, Saturday, he went to the congress with Daumus, at the salon de Folies Parisiennes on the Boulevard Rochechouart. "I was announced as a delegate from the Argentine Republic, applause, but at that moment I was leaving the room." An Englishman, a member of the House of Commons, spoke on the eight-hour workday [77].

Peyret fue nombrado delegado por los republicanos italianos de Buenos Aires para entregar una placa conmemorativa de la revolución de 1789 al Concejo Municipal de Paris[78].

On behalf of the Italian republicans of Buenos Aires, Peyret delivered a plaque commemorating the Revolution of 1789 to the Paris city council [78].

In French he wrote ''Colonies d'Entre Ríos, República Argentina, America du Sud [79]. On April 1, 1892 he recorded: "I would have liked to have had the money I spent without reason in Concepción del Uruguay and Colonia San José. Had I put that money in a bank, I would be able to live off those savings. And my father: what he spent in Serres Castet! When I came to France the current owner of the property proposed to sell it to me, and I told him that no, he had taken me for a millionaire" [80].

Peyret was named the representative of the Province of Entre Ríos to the 1st Provincial Agricultural Congress held in Esperanza, Santa Fe from May 24 to June 2 of 1892 [81]. He was commissioned on June 1892 to write the history of the colonization of the Argentine Republic and was for a year granted a monthly salary of $500 "including his salary as Inspector of Colonies" [82]. In 1898 he declared that he had collected the necessary research to write the history and had begun the work, "to be completed when my health permits" [83]. He served as Inspector General of Colonies from early 1895 until January 16 of 1900, when he retired [84].

On June 13, 1893, he was was unanimously elected the first president of the French Alliance of Buenos Aires, whose committee met at the French Club [85]. On December 13, 1885, in the presence of the federal judge Juan del Campillo, he swore the oath of citizenship on the National Constitution [86]. He requested retirement benefits on October 14, 1889, on the justification of his advanced age and poor health, naturalized Argentine citizenship, and physical infirmity after thirty-one years of service. President Julio Argentino Roca granted his request with a decree signed on February 19, 1900 [87].

Aunque pasó el último año de su vida postrado, “no hacía otra cosa que leer, estudiar y escribir”[88]. Corrobora lo dicho el artículo de su autoría: "Colonia San José - cómo se fundó -" fechado en octubre de 1901 y publicado en la revista Urquiza.[89] Though he spent his final year of life idly, "there was nothing else to read, study, or write" [88]. He corroborated this in an article, "Colonia San José - How it was Founded", written in October 1901 and published in the review Urquiza [89].

Peyret died at his home at 176 General Urquiza Street in Buenos Aires on August 27, 1902, the cause of death recorded as chronic myocarditis [90]. His internment in the Western Cemetery was attended by Julio Argentino Roca, his aide-de-camp Colonel David Marambio Catán, and a sizable audience.

The Masonic Review, an independent organ of international freemasonry, published "In memoriam, the Illustrious and Honorable Dr. Alejo Peyret: this Republic and more immediately Argentine freemasonry have lost one of their greatest thinkers, an indefatigable apostle of liberalism. By special decree, the Argentine Orient elects the Powerful and Honorable Francisco F. Fernandez to speak in the name of national freemasonry. The name of the Honorable Peyret is engraved in the memory of those he has taught to cultivate knowledge and love justice and truth"'' [91].

At the request of his heirs, his ashes were moved to the cemetery of San José on November 26, 1995 [92]. The only items in his will were a plot of land at Colonia San José and a fraction of the homestead zone at the same colony [93].
