Lorenzo Barcala

He was released by the governor of Cuyo, General José de San Martín, but for unknown reasons did not join the Army of the Andes.

Shortly afterwards he took part under the command of José Félix Aldao in the suppression of the "ecclesiastical" revolution in San Juan and the overthrow of governor Salvador María del Carril.

He joined Rosas' military campaign of 1833 against native tribes under the command of General Jose Ruiz Huidobro, and fought against the Ranqueles of chieftain Yanquetruz in the battle of Acollaradas.

Quiroga was assassinated in 1835, his lieutenants began to dispute his inheritance, and there was a series of conflicts between Aldao, Mendoza, Martín Yanzón, governor of the San Juan province, and Tomas Brizuela, of La Rioja.

The intriguing Yanzón minister, Domingo de Oro, Aldao attempted escape by a conspiracy that led Barcala from San Juan.

His son Celestino Barcala fought the federal rebellion of 1860 and was shot by rebel commander Felipe Varela shortly before the defeat of the latter at the Battle of Pozo de Vargas.
