In Editing The Bandeirantes, The Historical Role of the Brazilian Pathfinders , Richard M. Morse points out that on many points of interpretation neither the readings he has presented "nor the whole of bandeirante history can furnish conclusive answers." He states that "although the chronology and geography of the bandeiras have by now been fairly well pieced together by scholars, most other aspects of their history still lie open to speculation." He concludes with a statement from a Brazilian source: "In spite of the fruitful results of research in this century, the study of bandeirismo as the combined process of political, economic and social evolution of the colony has not yet been attempted." While thinking over Professor Morse's introductory comments it occured to me that a careful review of all available facts concerning the seventeenth century Paulista, Domingos Jorge Velho, might contribute a useful piece in the challenging, historic puzzle
