description Historical events such as the battle of Cachirí (1816)demostrate that there is no narrative or explicative unitybetween different generations that have studied the nationalhistory, nor among the social classes that promote discoursesbased on their different imaginaries. This article describesthe variation in explanations between official history,popular memory and monument heritage of the regionalelite, regarding the battle that defined the triumph of theexpeditionary army of the Reconquista. For this purpose, weanalyze historical discourses that characterize the officialversion of the events taken place, and contrast them with theregional and national historical representations. At the sametime as we highlight the silences and anachronisms of thesehistories and representations from the point of view of popularmemory. All of this leads to identifying the different nationaldistortions that coexist regarding one event (the battle ofCachirí) and one historical character (Custodio García Rovira)in the New Granada of 1816.

Acontecimientos históricos como la batalla de Cachirí (1816) demuestran que no hay unidad narrativa ni explicativa entre las diferentes generaciones que han estudiado la historia nacional ni entre las clases sociales que promueven discursos acordes a sus imaginarios. El artículo describe cómo han variado las explicaciones entre la historia oficial, la memoria popular y el patrimonio monumental de las élites regionales acerca de la batalla que decidió el triunfo del ejército expedicionario de reconquista. Para ello, son analizados los discursos históricos que caracterizan la versión oficial de lo acontecido, se contrastan con las representaciones históricas regionales y nacionales, así como se destacan los vacíos y anacronismos de esas historias y representaciones desde la memoria popular. Todo lo cual conlleva a identificar las tergiversaciones nacionales que coexisten sobre un mismo hecho (la batalla de Cachirí) y un mismo personaje histórico (Custodio García Rovira) en la Nueva Granada de 1816. Des événements historiques comme la bataille de Cachirí (1816) montrent que ni les différentes générations ayant étudié l’histoire nationale ni les classes sociales qui formulent des discours idèles à leur imaginaires ne partagent d’unité narrative ou explicative. Cet article décrit comment ont changé les explications entre l’histoire oficielle, la mémoire populaire et le patrimoine monumental des élites régionales à propos de la bataille qui a décidé la victoire de l’armée expéditionnaire de reconquête. Pour ce faire, nous analysons les discours historiques qui caractérisent la version oficielle; ensuite, nous les confrontons avec les représentations historiques régionales et nationales; puis nous soulignons les vides et les anachronismes de ces histoires et de ces représentations à partir de la mémoire populaire. Tout ceci nous mène à identiier les déformations nationales qui coexistent sur un même événement (la bataille de Cachirí) et un même personnage (Custodio García Rovira) dans la Nouvelle Grenade de 1816.
