Gerardo Barrios y su tiempo (Gerardo Barrios and His Times), 1965, cover

Although López Vallecillos was not trained as a historian, his two-volume biography of the nineteenth century president and caudillo Gerardo Barrios was one of the first documentary histories of El Salvador ever published. He relied on letters, historical documents and period press accounts to tell the story of how Barrios fomented El Salvador's early coffee industry and lent support to Nicaragua in its fight against the American filibuster William Walker.
