Sinopse
Características

Life and Death in the Silver is centered on the saga of generations of a family involved in historical episodes taking place in the south of Brazil. Biographical excerpts of four military characters-The Colonel, The Captain, The Marshal, and The Major-become aligned with the unfolding of historical events described by people in the military and civilians, revolutionaries or legalists, who were actually present at the time. Episodes in Brazilian history are addressed in the book, such as the Legality Campaign. the Ragamuffin (Farroupilha) Revolution, the Paraguay War, the Proclamation of the Republic, the Federalist Revolution, the Contested Territory Campaign, and so on. Many facts mentioned are based on primary sources, such as the living memory of relatives of those who once lived and those who now live in the Silver River basin. It is ultimately a book about rescuing historical events told by generations of a family struggling for order and freedom.
