LEITE (Aureliano). ANTÓNIO de Albuquerque Coelho de Carvalho. Lisboa. 1944. - LEITE (Aureliano) ANTÓNIO de Albuquerque Coelho de Carvalho . Capitão-General de São Paulo e Minas do Ouro, no Brasil. Lisboa: Agência Geral das Colónias, 1944. 108, [4] pp.; 205 mm. A biographical study of António de Albuquerque Coelho de Carvalho, the first governor and captain-general of the Captaincy of São Paulo and Minas do Ouro, created in 1709 following the War of the Emboabas, with the task of re-establishing royal authority in a region shaken by conflicts between Paulistas (inhabitants of São Paulo) and outsiders vying for gold deposits. The work follows his political and administrative actions, marked by the pacification of tensions, the organization of the territory, and the founding of the first mining towns. An interesting contribution to the history of Portuguese administration in colonial Brazil and the occupation of the Minas Gerais mines during the period when the Crown asserted its power over Brazilian gold.
