IGUAIN, José Felix (e-guah-een'), Peruvian
soldier, born in Huanta, 20 March, 1800; died in Chile in September, 1851. He
lost his parents in youth, but by his own efforts acquired a good education.
During the latter part of the struggle for independence in his country he began
to appear in public.
He was one of the bitterest opponents, of the proposed
life dictatorship of Simon Bolivar in 1826, afterward continued to oppose the
conservative authorities, and suffered persecution, but the Liberal party
elected him in 1828 to congress, where he distinguished himself by his
eloquence, and contributed to prevent war between his country and Bolivia.
In 1833 he took an active part in the revolution of
Nieto against General Gamarra, and the unfortunate result of this enterprise
obliged him to imigrate to Chile. After Orbegozo's election he returned, and
when the latter sought the aid of the president of Bolivia, General Santa Cruz,
Iguain attacked foreign intervention in the press, and soon afterward joined the
army of General Salaverry as lieutenant-colonel. The campaign for some time was
fortunate, but at last Salaverry was defeated at Socabaya in 1835, and Iguain
fled to Chile.
While in that country he busied himself in writing his "Biografias
Peruanas Contemporaneas" (Santiago, 1838). When at last Chile interfered in the
Peruvian troubles, Iguain returned to his country as colonel of the invading
army of General Bulnes and fought under him in the battle of Yungay, 20 January,
1839, which put an end to the Peru-Bolivian confederation.
In 1841the Bolivian general, Ballivian, invaded Peru
again, and Iguain marched against him in command of a brigade under General
Gamarra, who was defeated at Ingavi on 18 November. Iguain was then promoted
general and retired to private life, but took part in the revolution against the
dictator Vivanco in 1843, and after his defeat was banished to Chile.
