Manuel Mariano Echeyerria

ECHEVERRIA, Manuel Mariano - A Stan Klos Biography

ECHEVERRIA, Manuel Mariano, South American missionary, born at Quito about 1730; died there in the latter part of the 18th century. In 1767 he was appointed superior of the missions of Mainas and those on the banks of the Marañon, and on 2 January 1768, at the head of twenty-eight priests, he set out for his post. He worked with ardor, and did much to improve the moral and material condition of the wild Indian tribes. On his return from the missions he was appointed prebendary to the Cathedral of Quito, but died soon after. Echeverria wrote "Descripción de Mainas" (1784), a work which has remained unedited, but is valuable for the information it contains about the villages of the province of Mainas, including Napo and Canelos, the number of their inhabitants, their exact positions, and their natural and industrial products.
