Abstract

This paper aims to summarize the passage of the North American geographer Alexander Hamilton Rice Jr. (1875-1956) in the Rio Branco region, which is currently known as the state of Roraima. This expedition carried out between 1924-25 generated a significant material for studying the region, as well as an insightful report generated and an important photo and video record of the places and people of the region, then known as Brazilian Guyana. We analyze the work published in Portuguese which presents part of the report, entitled "Exploração na Guiana Brasileira", published in 1978 as part of the "Reconquista do Brasil" collection.
