VALADÃO (Francisco Lourenço). DOIS Capitães-Generais e a 1.ª Revolução Constitucional na Ilha Terceira. Lisboa. 1964. - VALADÃO (Francisco Lourenço) DOIS Capitães-Generais e a 1.ª Revolução Constitucional na Ilha Terceira . Lisboa: Edições Panorama, 1964. 262, [4] pp.: il.; 250 mm. First and only edition. A study of political and military history on the role of Terceira Island in the early years of Portuguese constitutionalism, focusing on the figures and actions of the two captains-general who governed the archipelago during the critical period from 1820 to 1828: one of absolutist orientation, the other favorable to the liberal cause. Terceira was the only Portuguese territory to maintain the constitutional cause after the Miguelist victory on the mainland, becoming a base of operations for liberal forces and the starting point for the expedition that restored the constitutional regime in 1834. Illustrated with photogravures in extra-text. Valadão, a founding member of the Historical Institute of Terceira Island and contributor to its bulletin, dedicated part of his work to combating the mythical and hagiographic view of the liberal struggles on the island, seeking a more critical reading of the events. A valuable contribution to the history of the Azores and Portuguese liberalism. Unusual. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
