    • 2023, Djalma do Nascimento Sousa, chapter VIII, in Memórias do Sul do Maranhão, Maranhão, published 2023, page 139:
      Dá-se o mérito real da entrada de criadores de gado ao sertão o que não é bem verdade, pois no período de 1700, isto é, muito antes deles chegarem, já existiam bastante criadores, muitas famílias de coragem e determinação adentravam as matas, à procura de terras boas para viver e produzirem;
      The real merit of the arrival of cattle breeders in the sertão is given, which is not quite true, because in the 1700s, in other words, long before they arrived, there were already plenty of breeders, many families with courage and determination entering the forests in search of good land to live on and produce;
