José Menéndez

José Menéndez Menéndez (1846–1918) was a Spanish businessman based in Argentina and Chilean Patagonia. He was the initiator of many large companies that remain to this day.

Twenty-first century scholarship has uncovered the history of Menéndez and his business partners in the Braun family in the genocide of the Indigenous Selk'nam people of Patagonia. Provided by Wikipedia
