Resumo(s)
I would like to suggest in this paper that from very early on in United States history the islands of the Azores served as mid-Atlantic meeting point for Portuguese and American culture. A good example of that is the description the historian William Hickling Prescott (1796-1859) left us of his stay on the island of São Miguel as a young man. For this paper, I have drawn primarily on two sources of information: the extant correspondence of Prescott which George Ticknor (1791-1871), fellow scholar and friend, included in his Life of William Hickling Prescott (1864), as well as the personal diary kept by Prescott during his European Grand Tour and which exists in manuscript form at the Massachusetts Historical Society.
