Final Days of Antonio Nariño
These documents reveal the final days of Antonio Nariño, leader of Colombia’s independence movement. A physician’s report from January 8, 1824, describes his declining health in Villa de Leyva. Next to it is Nariño’s last known letter, written in Ráquira, in which he speaks of swelling, respiratory pain, and fatigue, just days before his death on December 13, 1823.
