MARTINS (Ferreira, General). FIGURAS E FACTOS da Colonização Portuguesa. Lisboa. 1944. - MARTINS (Ferreira, General) FIGURAS E FACTOS da Colonização Portuguesa . Com um prefácio do Almirante João de Azevedo Coutinho. Lisboa: Editorial Inquérito, 1944. 246, [4] pp.; 190 mm. A collection of biographical and episodic studies on Portuguese colonization in the 19th and 20th centuries, with a preface (”Two Words”) by Admiral João de Azevedo Coutinho, who, like the author, served in Mozambique under the command of Mouzinho de Albuquerque. Many of the texts had been published in Portuguese newspapers and magazines and now appear corrected and, in some cases, expanded. This volume covers the period from 1806 to 1926 and brings together figures and events from India, Angola, and Mozambique. Among other topics, it addresses the viceroys and governors of India, liberalism in the Portuguese colonies (1817-1853), the abolition of slavery (1836-1869), attempts at colonization in the 19th century, the arbitration of Bolama (1870), the Mozambique Company (1892-1942), and the campaigns of 1895, with chapters on Marracuene and Chaimite. It also includes profiles of collaborators of Mouzinho de Albuquerque and of governors and commanders such as Garcia Rosado, Veríssimo, Farinha Beirão, and Chief Abdul-Injai, as well as episodes such as the relics of Marracuene and the tomb of Mouzinho. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
