Cities from the North of Brazil, Amazon rivers, 19th century

Abstract

We aim here to present six cities from the North of Brazil having our main source in some traveler’s writings from the 19th century. We emphasize the relevance of Amazon rivers for creation and development of these places when transportation by land was extremely difficult. All of these cities were placed alongside rivers, and all of them were embraced by the forest. Only by rivers was it possible to reach and see such places created by man to demarcate their territory and to people lands far away from the coast. During the 19th century many travelers ventured to cross Amazon and other rivers to be at these places, which would not rarely present a few houses, streets and people, but were also part of the Brazilian landscape.
