The article analyzes the role played by Azorean immigrants in Rio Grande do Sul based on some classics of Rio Grande do Sul historiography, seeking to identify the “different immigrants” present in these works. Thus, we analyze the different existing views on the Azorean in Rio Grande do Sul historiography, worrying about not reconstructing the history of this immigration process, but rather identifying, in the analyzed works, the profile built by its authors for these 18th century immigrants. Having as reference the understanding that the works on Azorean immigration in RS are in different temporalities and contexts, it is that we will start to investigate this rich production, which now presents them as a crude and rude subject; hardworking and honest, now as a builder of the gaucho identity.
