A coluna prestes e suas andanças pelo sertão do Tocantins

Abstract

This present work aims to explore the historical event that was the Coluna Prestes, as well as its importance for the history of Brazil and in particular for the history of Tocantins. For this purpose, bibliographical research was used as a data collection method, through the raised content that portray the movement unleashed in the mid-1920s, of the last century, through the interior of Brazil, having traveled 14 (fourteen) states over twenty-five five thousand km during the years 1925 to 1927. For theoretical basis, the works of Dinarco Reis, Jose Augusto Drummond, Neil Macaulay and José de Souza Martins were explored. I intend to problematize the various narratives of these works, having as the horizon of this investigation to seek to know a political historical event of great magnitude, especially the passage of Coluna Prestes in the territory that is today Tocantins.
