Hi!
I came across a difficult place in the book I'm reading now. I don't fully understand the meaning of the paragraph.
But at first I would say that the book was written in 1774 and narrates about Patagonia.
The obscure paragraph tells about Carcarañá River (a river in present Argentina):
"... In this manner it takes it's course to the Cruzalta, where it is called Carcaranna, from it's many windings, and passes on, running from N. N. W. to S. S. E. till it enters the Parana, at the Rincon, or corner, of Gaboto, about eighteen leagues from Santa Fe."
What does it mean "... from it's many windings"? Why "from"?
Thank you in advance!
