For the posterity of the free peoples of America
GENERAL ELOY ALFARO DELGADO
Montecristi, Ecuador 1842 - 1912
President of the Republic of Ecuador
1897 - 1901 and 1906 - 1911
As leader of the triumphant Liberal Revolution
separated the Church from the State, sowed it.
Lay education, improved the condition of women, joined the Sierra and the coast of the country with the construction of the most difficult and beautiful railroad in the world.
Cowardice, betrayal and ingratitude raised the "Bonfire Bárbara", but they did not incinerate their ideas and from the ashes their eternal light was raised, and history has already judged it as
The largest Ecuadorian
of all times
Glory to his name and his work!
