La novela Juan Moreira, de Eduardo Gutiérrez, tuvo gran popularidad y fue llevada al teatro, el cine y el cómic. Moreira (Flores 1829-Lobos, 1874) fue un gaucho argentino. Su padre fue el mazorquero José Custodio, un español que integró el Cuerpo de Serenos, célebre por su crueldad. Se afirma que el mismo Rosas le entregó al padre de Moreira un sobre cerrado con la orden de que lo llevase al comandante de los cuarteles de Santos Lugares. El sobre contenía la orden de ajusticiar de inmediato al portador, y así sucedió. Durante casi treinta años Juan Moreira tuvo una vida tranquila, dedicado al trabajo rural. Su casamiento con "la Vicenta" marcó el inicio de su tragedia pues el teniente alcalde de la zona –conocido como Don Francisco– también estaba enamorado de ella. Primero Don Francisco le impuso una multa de 500 pesos por no solicitar una autorización para festejar la boda. Por entonces Moreira había prestado al almacenero del pueblo, unos 10.000 pesos; este se negaba a devolver el préstamo y Moreira lo denunció ante el teniente alcalde. El supuesto deudor negó los hechos y Moreira fue castigado esta vez con cuarenta y ocho horas de reclusión. Moreira juró dar una puñalada por cada 1.000 pesos de deuda y cumplió su promesa en un duelo a cuchillo. Luego peleó contra Don Francisco y cuatro soldados dando muerte a Don Francisco y a dos soldados más. Juan Moreira recorrió las ciudades de Navarro, General Las Heras, Lobos, 25 de Mayo y pasó algún tiempo en las tolderías del Cacique Coliqueo. A su regreso, continuó su vida errante y se enfrentó a las fuerzas del orden. En abril de 1874 el gobernador de la provincia de Buenos Aires envió a la policía, y Moreira quedó rodeado en el almacén y pulpería "La Estrella". Allí peleó con todas sus mañas y en la huida fue herido de muerte por una bayoneta de un policía que perforó su pulmón izquierdo. Aun así, Moreira alcanzó a disparar su trabuco hiriendo en la cara al policía, quien perdió un ojo y cuatro dedos de un hachazo.

Argentinian writer Eduardo Gutiérrez (1851-1889) fashioned his seminal gauchesque novel from the prison records of the real Juan Moreira, a noble outlaw whose life and name became legendary in the Río de la Plata during the late 19th century. John Chasteen's fast-moving, streamlined translation--the first ever into English--captures all of the sweeping romance and knife-wielding excitement of the original. William Acree's introduction and notes situate Juan Moreira in its literary and historical contexts. Numerous illustrations, a map of Moreira’s travels, a glossary of terms, and a select bibliography are all included.

Wherever cattle have been raised on a large scale horsemen have been there to handle them; and wherever these horsemen have existed they have left an indelible mark upon the history of the land. Frequently they have been ignorant, violent, and brutal. Always they have been vigorous and individualistic. They have taken their herds into frontier areas, opened new country, fought and driven off earlier inhabitants, participated in revolutions, battled among themselves, and generally lived lives which, colorful and somewhat frightening to their contemporaries, have become robust legends to those who followed them. Edward Larocque Tinker portrays the life of these people in the two Americas, the conditions which created them, and those that ultimately destroyed or transformed them. "Ever since I was a small boy, when my parents returned from Mexico bringing me a charro outfit complete with saddle and bridle, Latin America has beckoned with the finger of romance," Mr. Tinker recalls. "As soon as I was old enough, I made many trips to Mexico and, in the days of Porfirio Díaz, learned to know it from the border to the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. During the Revolution I was with General Álvaro Obregón when he was a Teniente Coronel in his Sonora Campaign, and, although I was only a lawyer on a holiday, took care of his wounded in the battel of San Joaquín. Later, in Pancho Villa's train, I was present at Celaya when he was defeated by Obregón. "Always an ardent horseman, I worked many a roundup with the vaqueros of Sonora and Chihuahua, and with the cowboys of our Southwest. . . . "I saw the similarity between the American cowboy, the Argentine Gaucho, and the Vaquero of Mexico. They all received their gear and technique of cattle handling from Spain, and developed the same independence, courage, and hardihood. I thought if these qualities were better known they might serve as a bridge to closer understanding throughout the Americas." From his study of the lives of these horsemen, Tinker proceeds to an examination of the literature that evolved among and then about them. The first and largest part of the book deals with the gaucho of Argentina and Uruguay. The second and third sections examine the charro of Mexico and the cowboy of the United States.

This volume delivers a comprehensive study of banditry in Latin America and of its cultural representation. In its scope across the continent, looking closely at nations where bandit culture has manifested itself forcefully – Mexico (the subject of the case study), the Hispanic south-west of the United States, Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela and Cuba – it imagines a ‘Golden Age’ of banditry in Latin America from the mid-nineteenth century to the 1940s when so-called ‘social bandits’, an idea first proposed by Eric Hobsbawm and further developed here, flourished. In its content, this work offers the most detailed and wide-ranging study of its kind currently available. Contents Introduction: The Idea of a Golden Age of Latin American Banditry 1850-1950 1. The Figure of the Bandit in History, Culture and Social Theory 2. Mexico: The Myth of the Bandit Nation 3. Mexico’s Classic Bandit Narrative: Los de abajo 4.

Nightmares of the Lettered City presents an original study of the popular theme of banditry in works of literature, essays, poetry, and drama, and banditry's pivotal role during the conceptualization and formation of the Latin American nation-state. Juan Pablo Dabove examines writings over a broad time period, from the early nineteenth century to the 1920s, and while Nightmares of the Lettered City focuses on four crucial countries (Argentina, Mexico, Brazil, and Venezuela), it is the first book to address the depiction of banditry in Latin America as a whole. The work offers close reading of Facundo, Do–a Barbara, Os Sert›es, and Martin Fierro, among other works, illuminating the ever-changing and often contradictory political agendas of the literary elite in their portrayals of the forms of peasant insurgency labeled "banditry."Banditry has haunted the Latin American literary imagination. As a cultural trope, banditry has always been an uneasy compromise between desire and anxiety (a "nightmare"), and Dabove isolates three main representational strategies. He analyzes the bandit as radical other, a figure through which the elites depicted the threats posed to them by various sectors outside the lettered city. Further, he considers the bandit as a trope used in elite internecine struggles. In this case, rural insurgency was a means to legitimize or refute an opposing sector or faction within the lettered city. Finally, Dabove shows how, in certain cases, the bandit was used as an image of the nonstate violence that the nation state has to suppress as a historical force and simultaneously exalt as a memory in order to achieve cultural coherence and actual sovereignty. As Dabove convincingly demonstrates, the elite's construction of the bandit is essential to our understanding of the development of the Latin American nation in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
