Francisco Josué Pascasio Moreno (1852-1919) was an Argentine naturalist, geographer, anthropologist, explorer and founder and first director of La Plata Museum (1884). His collecting as a child was so prolific that his parents set aside a room for his specimens. He started exploring in Patagonia (1873), and achieved a long-held ambition to cross it from coast to coast (1875). He wrote Viaje a la Patagonia Austral about this journey (1876), which explored and mapped unknown territory. He donated c.15,000 specimens to the Anthropological and Ethnographic Museum of Buenos Aires (1879) , which created a whole new department. He donated books and drew in many overseas scientists, as well as raising money for buildings; all of which culminated in his being appointed Director for life. As an anthropologist he was among the first to plead for attempts to 'civilise' native peoples to cease. He was briefly held prisoner (1879) by one of the tribes he went to study, and after escaping decided to go to Europe to study further. On his return he found those same people imprisoned and did everything he could to have them released and rehabilitated. He was instrumental (1880s) in establishing the border with Chile. Moreno's last collecting trip (1912) was made with American ex- President Theodore Roosevelt (q.v.). He also wrote the definitive work on his favourite area, Voyage to Patagonia (1879). He was granted territory, which he had explored, by the government, but he donated it back to create the Nahuel Huapi National Park. He is also honoured in the name of a large glacier and in the names of a mammal and a reptile.

[PScofield]

Josué is not a Portuguese version of José but the Spanish transliteration of Joshua. The presence of this name in his family would not be unusual as his full Spanish apellido was Moreno Thwaites. His grandfather was Joshua (Josué) Thwaites Gibson an English born Argentinian trader. Moreno's wife was also a 3rd generation English Argentinian. All that being said I can find no official document that uses Josué in Moreno's name.
