Severo Melgarejo Rojas (10 January 1842 - 3 March 1905) was a Bolivian military officer, business man and guano magnate. He was the son of the President of Bolivia, Mariano Melgarejo,[1] and his wife Rosa Rojas. He was considered a traitor by most Bolivians of his day due to his Chilean citizenship.
