"Memorandum ácerca das expedições realizadas na Zambesia septentrional durante os annos de 1885 a 1891" by Carl Wiese is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles Wiese's expeditions in Northern Zambezi, focusing on issues related to ivory trade and the interactions between Portuguese expeditions and local African rulers during this period of European colonial expansion. It provides insight into the geopolitical dynamics of the time, particularly in
relation to the Portuguese colonial presence in Africa. In "Memorandum ácerca das expedições realizadas na Zambesia septentrional", Carl Wiese recounts his experiences organizing expeditions with indigenous elephant hunters to acquire ivory, as well as his negotiations and political maneuvering with local chiefs like Mpesene and Muassa to establish Portuguese influence in the region. The narrative highlights various challenges faced during the expeditions, including conflicts, resource scarcity, and competition from other colonial powers, particularly the British. Notably, Wiese describes his successful establishment of treaties that recognized Portuguese sovereignty over vast territories, the construction of settlements, and the cultivation of good relationships with local populations, all while emphasizing the significance of these efforts for the future of Portuguese colonial interests in Southern Africa.
