Abstract

Perhaps the most striking feature of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, in
the first part of the nineteenth century was the presence of slave cowboys.
Giuseppe Garibaldi, who had fought for many years in Rio
Grande do Sul alongside the black Ragamuffins in the Ragamuffin
War, 1835-1845, considered these recently freed slaves among the
finest busters, ropers, and horse soldiers in all the province, so famous
for its gauchos (1) .
