Abstract/Summary:
In this thesis, I examine a set of political correspondence from Conservative politicians who followed General Emiliano Chamorro at the beginning of the twentieth century in Nicaragua. I argue that underneath the elaborate praises expressed in the political correspondence, these letters demonstrate the fragile internal leadership of the caudillo.
