Biography
James Ralston Scobie was born in Valparaiso, Chile, in 1929. He graduated from Princeton University in 1950, and fulfilled
both his Master's (1951) and Ph.D. of history at Harvard University (1954). Scobie spent three years in the U.S. Army Intelligence
Corps in Germany and was a part-time instructor in the University of Maryland's overseas program before joining the faculty
at the University of California, Berkeley, 1957 to 1964. He then joined the department of history at Indiana University, Bloomington,
serving as director of the Latin American Studies Program from 1964-1967, and as chairman of the history department from 1970-1974.
In 1967 Scobie married historian Ingrid Winthur. He also was a visiting scholar of Latin American studies at Columbia University
(1963-1963) and at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton University (1974-1975). In 1977, he moved from Indiana to the
UC San Diego department of history, where he remained until his sudden death in 1981.
A leading scholar in the field of Latin American urban history, Scobie published a substantial body of fundamental work on
Argentine history. He is best known for his field research on the emergence of Buenos Aires as a major Latin American and
world metropolis. His major publications include
Argentina: A City and a Nation (1964),
Revolution on the Pampas: A Social History of Argentine Wheat (1964) and
Buenos Aires, Plaza to Suburb, 1870-1910 (1988). Scobie received a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities in 1974-1976 for a comparative research project
studying the urban development patterns of smaller cities. His research formed the basis for the book
Secondary Cities of Argentina: The Social History of Corrientes, Salta, and Mendoza, 1850-1910 (1988), which was compiled and edited posthumously by Samuel L. Baily. Scobie was also noted for his early studies of Bartolomé
Mitre, President of Argentina from 1862-1868. He was the recipient of numerous awards, including two Social Science Research
Council fellowships, a Guggenheim fellowship, and the Argentine prize "Todo es Historia" as outstanding historian of 1976.
