 Finally, on November 24, 1811, Swedish-American Mathew Hoevel (), an idealist for free government, landed the "Galloway" in the port of Valparaiso with a printing press, American printers, and arms and munitions to supply the troops of the independence movement.These printers, who included Samuel Burr Johnston, soon set to work publishing the "Aurora de Chile", Chile's first local publication.The paper's first issue was published on February 13, 1812 under the direction of Camilo Henríquez González, who was not only the first editor of Chile's first periodical, but also the first that had seriously argued for Chilean independence.
