Life
He was a mulatto, born of a white hacendado and a black maid in Mompox, Colombia on 12 January 1849. He studied at Colegio Pinillos de Mompox. In 1886 he obtained an scholarship to do his higher studies at Colegio Militar de Bogotá, and a year later he entered the Universidad Nacional de Colombia where he started engineering, law and political science, but due to economical struggle, he was unable to graduate from any faculty.[1][2]
He had several jobs during short periods of time. Due to his friendship with influential personalities of the time, he was named consul in Tours, France and national interpreter in Panama. He also worked as a school teacher in Sucre and municipal treasurer of Magangué.[3][4]
