His life inspired a very popular novel by romantic author Eduardo Gutiérrez, which in turn inspired at least four biographical films entitled Juan Moreira.
San Juan | Juan Carlos I of Spain | Don Juan | Airto Moreira | Santurce, San Juan, Puerto Rico | Juan Gabriel | Juan Perón | Juan Pablo Montoya | Strait of Juan de Fuca | Juan Ramón Jiménez | Juan Luna | San Juan, Metro Manila | San Juan Islands | San Juan, Argentina | San Juan del Sur | Juan Manuel Santos | Juan Gris | Juan | Old San Juan | Juan Mónaco | Juan Luis Guerra | Juan de Padilla | San Juan de la Maguana | Juan Martín del Potro | Juan López de Padilla | Colegio de San Juan de Letran | San Juan Pueblo | San Juan Capistrano, California | Juan Ponce de León | Juan Muñoz |
In 1983, he created a series of biographies for the daily newspaper La Voz (adapted for the comics medium) of Juan Moreira, Manuel Dorrego, Facundo Quiroga and Chacho Peñaloza.
Possessing all the elements of tragedy, the anecdote inspired Eduardo Gutiérrez's 1884 play Juan Moreira, and the work made the gaucho, the inspiration for the Argentine stage in subsequent years.
