En el espacio fronterizo que en el siglo XVIII buscaba proteger a la ciudad de Buenos Aires de los grupos indígenas soberanos de la pampa, los funcionarios de la corona española comandaron precarios fuertes defensivos y desplegaron con esos grupos una política enfocada principalmente en intercambiar bienes, informaciones y cautivos de dos maneras alternativas: los acuerdos de paz y las expediciones punitivas.Los comandantes de esos fuertes, resguardados por la amplia tolerancia de la política borbónica y una cierta delegación de autoridad en los asuntos de las fronteras, tuvieron personalidades diversas y concepciones particulares sobre el trato cotidiano hacia “el enemigo infiel” y sobre esas dos formas de disciplinamiento y control. El caso del comandante de Salto, José Linares, ilustra cómo estas cuestiones se resolvían cotidianamente y sobre los conflictos que protagonizó con los indígenas, los vecinos, con sus tropas y sus superiores, a la vez que acumulaba poder económico y buscaba el prestigio social.
