CAMPOS (Alfredo Luís). MEMÓRIA da Visita Regia à Ilha Terceira. Angra do Heroísmo. 1903. - CAMPOS (Alfredo Luís) MEMÓRIA da Visita Regia à Ilha Terceira . Angra do Heroísmo: Imprensa Municipal, 1903. VIII, 674, [2] pp.; 225 mm. Historical account compiled on the occasion of the royal visit of King Carlos I and Queen Maria Amélia to Terceira Island in July 1901, published by the Angra do Heroísmo City Council. Beyond the detailed description of the festivities and the royal visit, the work unfolds into a broad historical account of Terceira Island, in an effort to glorify its past, typical of the regionalist currents then in vogue. It also includes an extensive and diverse list of figures native to or somehow connected with the three islands that then comprised the Autonomous District of Angra do Heroísmo, accompanied by biographical notes. A reference source for the history and genealogy of the Azores, particularly Terceira Island, during the transition from the 19th to the 20th century. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
