The Portuguese in America 590 B.C.-1974: A Chronology & Fact Book Open Access

Portuguese presence in America is chronologically detailed in this small volume of the publisher’s Ethnic Chronology Series designed primarily as a reference for secondary and community college students. Excepting Brazil, Cardozo has enumerated Portuguese exploration and migration activities in the New World during the colonial period, but the major part of the book records the evolution of large Portuguese communities in New England and California during the past 100 years. This handbook, then, is of most interest to those persons inquiring after the contributions of the Portuguese ethnic group to American life.
