Com um prefácio do Prof. Doutor Marcelo Caetano. Lisboa: s.n., 1949. XVI, 210 pp.; 225 mm. First volume of a two-volume work on the history of the origins of the Nossa Senhora da Conceição fort, founded in 1782 by Joaquim de Araújo in the Espírito Santo bay – the nucleus from which the city of Lourenço Marques (present-day Maputo) developed. This volume covers the period 1782–1786, the first and most difficult years of the Portuguese settlement in an inhospitable location, constantly threatened by neighboring rulers and with scarce human and material resources. Vol. II (1787–1799) was published in Lisbon in 1960. With a preface by Marcelo Caetano. A fundamental work for the history of Mozambique. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
