Logo: a gaucho

Question SA-4. Here is the text reference (p. 135/3):
This writer is typical of those Costumbristas who concentrated on the
cattle culture, although the quality of his verse and the originality of
his work make him stand out. He had lived for many years among the gauchos
of interior Argentina, and he had come to respect and love the lifestyle
of those free souls of the open pampas. He also was a witness to the abuse
of the gauchos (as well as the few remaining Indigenous peoples) by the
centralized government in Buenos Aires as the pampas were being exploited
for their beef and grains in the international market. This commercialization
brought in the railroad, barbed wire, and the commercial rancher, who saw
the gaucho all too often as an obstacle to progress. Hernández fought
against the Rosas dictatorship, but he also opposed Sarmiento because he
believed that Sarmiento's European and US orientation was a threat to the
gaucho's freedom.
