A presença do homem branco, nesses remotos tempos, era rara e escassa em toda a região. A precariedade dos meios de transporte, a exuberância da floresta tropical e, especialmente, o modelo econômico baseado na “plantation”, fizeram com que as esporádicas passagens do homem branco pelo sertão se limitassem à captura de índios, impedindo sua fixação efetiva no interior. A penetração pelo sertão i...
