In the 19th century, Pedro Desiderio Quiroga and Pedro Echagüe told her story. This article proposes the comparison of two little-studied texts, whose meanings, characters and settings are related to stories about outlaw gauchos, Facundo and El Chacho de Sarmiento, the civil wars and the stage of National Organization after the battle of Pavón. “Martina Chapanay. American historical legend” was published in the Correo del Domingo in 1865. Quiroga's story traces the heroine's military and criminal life in such a way that we find there is little difference between the montoneros and the bandits. After Peñaloza's death, Martina becomes the legendary baqueana and tracker who helps the traveller. In the novel La Chapanay, published in 1884, Echagüe erases her Federalist status and presents her as a repentant highway robber who seeks to redeem herself by becoming the "Quixote of the Cuyo travesías". In both versions, Martina's virile appearance and demeanour constitute a rebellion against the gender mandate that accompanies her matrero spirit and transcends political and legal conflicts. De origen huarpe y nacida en San Juan, Martina Chapanay fue una salteadora y una miembro de las montoneras de Facundo Quiroga y del Chacho Peñaloza. En el siglo XIX, Pedro Desiderio Quiroga y Pedro Echagüe contaron su historia. El trabajo propone la confrontación de dos textos poco estudiados, cuyos sentidos, personajes y escenarios se relacionan con los relatos sobre gauchos matreros, el Facundo y El Chacho de Sarmiento, las guerras civiles y la etapa de Organización Nacional posterior a Pavón. “Martina Chapanay. Leyenda histórica americana” fue publicada en el Correo del Domingo en 1865. El relato de Quiroga recorre la vida militar y criminal de la protagonista de un modo en que los montoneros y los bandoleros terminan siendo equiparados. Luego de la muerte de Peñaloza, Martina se transforma en la legendaria baqueana y rastreadora que auxilia al viajero. En la novela La Chapanay, publicada en 1884, Echagüe la desfederaliza y la presenta como una salteadora arrepentida que buscará redimirse convirtiéndose en el “Quijote de las travesías cuyanas”. En ambas versiones, la apariencia y el comportamiento viriles de Martina configuran una rebeldía contra el mandato de género que acompaña su espíritu matrero y trasciende los conflictos políticos y legales.
