Segundo o escritor e pesquisador do cangaço Alcino Alves Costa em seu livro: "Lampião Além da Versão - Mentiras e Mistério de Angico", o cangaceiro Sabonete era irmão do cangaceiro Borboleta, aquele que foi se entregar ao capitão Aníbal Ferreira, em companhia do cangaceiro Juriti e sua companheira Maria de Juriti.

Será ou não a Maria de Lurdes que acompanhava o casal de cangaceiros Corisco e Dadá?
Por Raul Meneleu mascarenhas
No
documentário do confrade Geraldo Júnior (parabéns Geraldo Júnior)
encontrei essa foto da menina que estava com o casal de cangaceiros que
acompanhavam Corisco e Dadá. Lembram-se da "Vendeta Diabólica" da
série de artigos sobre o cangaço, "Como se forma um cangaceiros" do
jornal O Globo de 1958? Comparem as duas fotos. Será que é a Maria de Lurdes da
foto com o copo na mão?

‘...TERIA SIDO UM SONHO DE LIBERDADE, UM ‘GRITO’ AO SOCIAL OU, SIMPLESMENTE, UM GRUPO DE MARGINAIS?’
Por Sálvio
Siqueira
O Fenômeno
Cangaço surgiu, no nordeste brasileiro, entre o meado do século XIX e o seu
final. O próprio termo “cangaceiro”, em suas origens, faz referência ao termo
“canga”, peça de madeira usualmente colocada nos muares e animas de transporte.
Assim, a palavra cangaceiro, originalmente, faz uma alusão aos utensílios que
os cangaceiros carregavam em seu corpo. Grupos de homens armados conhecidos
como cangaceiros. Usavam roupas e chapéus de couro para protegerem os corpos da
vegetação da caatinga. Usavam também, esta mesma vegetação, como fonte de
alimento e ‘remédio’ no tratamento dos seus ferimentos. Estes grupos apareceram
em função, principalmente, das péssimas condições sociais da região nordestina.
Os latifúndios, que concentrava terra e renda nas mãos dos fazendeiros,
deixando à margem da sociedade a maioria da população.
Portanto, podemos
entender o cangaço como um fenômeno social. Os cangaceiros não tinham ‘morada’
fixa. Viviam como nômades não por opção, era mesmo por necessidade devido a
perseguições. Promoviam saques a fazendas, atacavam comboios e chegavam a
sequestrar pessoas para obtenção de resgates. Caracterizado por atitudes
violentas, andavam em bandos armados, espalhavam o medo pelo sertão nordestino.
Aqueles que respeitavam e acatavam as ordens dos cangaceiros não sofriam, pelo
contrário, eram muitas vezes ajudados. Esta atitude, fez com que os cangaceiros
fossem respeitados e até mesmo admirados por parte da população da época e
atual.
Existiram vários grupos de cangaceiros, diversos chefes como Cabeleira,
Zé da Feira, Jesuíno Brilhante, Antônio Silvino, Sinhô Pereira... mas, nenhum
deles chegou a se destacar tanto como Lampião, Virgolino Ferreira da Silva,
pernambucano natural de Vila Bela, atual Serra Talhada- PE. Sua existência e/ou
resistência nos sete Estados nordestinos durante um período, considerado muito
extenso para um líder cangaceiro, deveu-se muito a sua astúcia, divisão do seu
grupo em vários subgrupos, fazendo com que estivesse em lugares diferentes ao
mesmo tempo e, em contra partida, não se encontrava em lugar nenhum. Formação
de uma ‘malha’ de informantes bem arquitetada e os fornecedores de alimentos e
equipamento bélico. Por quase duas décadas ‘O Rei Vesgo’ foi o terror das
quebradas do Sertão.
Logo após seu assassinato, juntamente com mais dez
cangaceiros de seu grupo, tendo, na ocasião, também perecido o soldado Adrião,
Adrião Pedro de Souza, única baixa da Força Policial, ação comandada pelo
Tenente João Bezerra, pernambucano natural de Afogados da Ingazeira, que prestou
serviço na Força Policial alagoana, na Grota do Angico no Estado de Sergipe, em
meados de 1938, tem-se o início do fim da era dos terríveis cangaceiros.
Tendo
seu clímax em maio de 1940 com o assassinato do cangaceiro Corisco, Cristino
Gomes da Silva Cleto, natural de Água Branca - AL, pela Força Volante comandada
pelo então Tenente Zé Rufino, José Osório de Farias, pernambucano que prestou
serviço a Força Pública do Estado da Bahia, passou a compor as Forças em
Operações no Nordeste - F.O.N.E. Chegando a Segundo Tenente em 1939.

Charles Arthur "Pretty
Boy" Floyd (February 3, 1904 – October 22, 1934) was an American bank
robber. He operated in the Midwest and West South Central States, and his
criminal exploits gained widespread press coverage in the 1930s. Like most
other prominent outlaws of that era, he was killed by policemen. Historians
have speculated as to which officers were at the event, local or the FBI, known
accounts document that local officers Robert "Pete" Pyle and George
Curran were present at his fatal shooting and also at his embalming.[1] Floyd
has continued to be a familiar figure in American popular culture, sometimes
seen as notorious, but at other times viewed as a tragic figure, partly a
victim of the hard times of the Great
Depression in the United States.
Charles Arthur
Floyd was born in Bartow County, Georgia in 1904. His family moved to Oklahoma in
1911, and he grew up there. As a youth, he spent considerable time in nearby Kansas, Arkansas and Missouri.
Floyd was
first arrested at age 18 after he stole $3.50 in coins from a local post
office. Three years later he was arrested for a payroll robbery on September
16, 1925 in St. Louis, Missouri and was sentenced to
five years in prison. He served three and a half years before gaining parole.[2][3][4]
When paroled,
Floyd vowed that he would never see the inside of another prison. Entering into
partnerships with more established criminals in the Kansas City underworld, he committed a
series of bank robberies over the next several years; it was during this period
that he acquired the nickname "Pretty Boy." According to one account,
when the payroll master targeted in a robbery described the three perpetrators
to the police, he referred to Floyd as "a mere boy — a pretty boy
with apple cheeks." Like his contemporaryBaby
Face Nelson, Floyd hated his nickname.[2]
In 1929, Floyd
was wanted in numerous cases. On March 9, he was arrested in Kansas City on
investigation, and again on May 6 for vagrancy and
suspicion of highway robbery, but he was released the next day.
Two days later, he was arrested in Pueblo,
Colorado, and charged with vagrancy. He was fined $50.00 and sentenced to
60 days in jail.[4]
Floyd, under
the alias "Frank Mitchell," was arrested in Akron, Ohio,
on March 8, 1930, charged in the investigation of the murder of an Akron police
officer[5] who
had been killed during a robbery that evening.[4]
The law next
caught up with Floyd in Toledo, Ohio, where he was arrested on suspicion on
May 20, 1930.[6] He
was convicted of the Sylvania Ohio Bank Robbery and sentenced on November 24,
1930, to 12–15 years in Ohio State penitentiary, but he escaped.[4]
Floyd was a
suspect in the deaths of Kansas City brothers Wally and Boll Ash, who were
bootleggers. They were found dead in a burning car on March 25, 1931. A month
later on April 23, members of his gang killed Patrolman R. H. Castner of Bowling Green, Ohio.[7] On
July 22 Floyd killed Agent Curtis C. Burke of the federal Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) in Kansas City, Missouri.[8]
In 1932,
former sheriff Erv Kelley of McIntosh County, Oklahoma, tried to
arrest Floyd, who killed Kelley on April 7.[9] In
November of that year, three members of Floyd's gang attempted to rob the
Farmers and Merchants Bank in Boley,
Oklahoma.[10]
Despite his
life of crime, Floyd was viewed positively by the general public. When he
robbed banks he would destroy mortgage documents, which freed many citizens of
their debts. He was protected by citizens of Oklahoma, who referred to him as
"Robin Hood of the Cookson Hills".[11]
Floyd and Adam
Richetti became the primary suspects in a June 17, 1933, gunfight
known as the "Kansas City massacre" that resulted in
the deaths of four law enforcement officers.[12] Though J.
Edgar Hoover used the incident as ammunition to further empower the FBI to pursue Floyd,[12] historians
are divided as to whether or not he was involved. Another, more likely,
suspect, was gang member Sol Weismann, who resembled Floyd. Floyd adamantly
denied his involvement in this fiasco (apparently a botched attempt to free
bank robber Frank Nash, who was in police custody).[citation needed]
The gunfight
was an attack by Vernon Miller and accomplices on lawmen
escorting robber Frank "Jelly" Nash to a car parked at the Union Station in Kansas
City, Missouri. TwoKansas City, Missouri, officers, Detective
William Grooms[13] and
Patrolman Grant Schroder;[14] McAlester, Oklahoma Police Chief Otto
Reed;[15] and
FBI Special Agent Ray Caffrey[16] were
killed. Nash was also killed as he was sitting in the car. Two other Kansas
City police officers survived by slumping forward in the backseat and feigning
death. As the gunmen inspected the car, another officer responded from the
station and fired at them, forcing them to flee. Miller was found dead on
November 27, 1933, outside Detroit, Michigan, beaten and strangled.[citation needed]
Floyd and
Richetti were alleged to have been Miller's accomplices. Factors weighing
against them included their apparent presence in Kansas City at the time, eyewitness identifications (which
have been contested), Richetti's fingerprint said
to have been recovered from a beer bottle at Miller's hideout, an underworld
account naming Floyd and Richetti as the gunmen, and Hoover's firm advocacy of
their guilt. Fellow bank robber Alvin
Karpis, an acquaintance of Floyd's, claimed that Floyd confessed
involvement to him. On the other side of the issue, the bandit alleged to have
been Floyd was supposed to have been wounded by a gunshot to the shoulder in
the attack, and Floyd's body showed no sign of this injury when examined later.
The underworld account identifying Floyd and Richetti as the killers was offset
by equally unreliable underworld accounts proclaiming their innocence or
identifying others. The Floyd family has maintained that while Floyd owned up
to many other crimes, he vehemently denied involvement in this one, as did
Richetti. It has also been contended that this crime would have been
inconsistent with Floyd's other criminal acts, as he was not otherwise known as
a hired gun or (especially) a hired killer.[citation needed]
Shortly after
the attack, Kansas City police received a postcard dated June 30, 1933, from Springfield, Missouri, which read: "Dear
Sirs- I- Charles Floyd- want it made known that I did not participate in the
massacre of officers at Kansas City. Charles Floyd". The police department
believed the note to be genuine. Floyd also reportedly denied involvement in
the massacre to the FBI agents who had fatally wounded him. In addition, a
recent book on the massacre attributes at least some of the killing to friendly
fire by a lawman who was unfamiliar with his weapon, based on ballistic tests.[citation needed]
On July 23,
1934, following the death of John
Dillinger, "Pretty Boy" Floyd was named Public
Enemy No. 1. On October 22, 1934, Floyd was shot in a corn field behind a
house on Sprucevale Road between Beaver Creek State Park and East Liverpool, Ohio near Clarkson,
while being pursued by local law officers and FBI agents led by Melvin
Purvis.[12][17]Varying
accounts exist as to who shot him and the manner in which he was killed. He was
carried out of the field by FBI agents and died under an apple tree.
Having
narrowly escaped ambush by FBI agents and other law enforcement agencies several times
after the Kansas City Massacre, Floyd had a stroke of
bad luck. On October 18, 1934, he and Richetti left Buffalo,
New York, and slid their vehicle into a telephone pole during a heavy fog.
No one was injured, but the car was disabled. Fearing they would be recognized,
Floyd and Richetti sent two female companions to retrieve a tow truck; they
planned to have the women accompany the tow truck driver into a town and have
the vehicle repaired, while the two men waited by the roadside.[citation needed]
After dawn on
October 19, motorist Joe Fryman and his son-in-law passed by, observing two men
dressed in suits lying by the roadside. Feeling it was suspicious, he informedWellsville,
Ohio, Police Chief John H. Fultz. Three officers,
including Fultz, investigated. When Richetti saw the lawmen, he fled into the
woods, pursued by two officers, while Fultz went toward Floyd. Floyd
immediately drew his gun and fired, and he and Fultz engaged one another in a
gunfight, during which Fultz was wounded in the foot. After wounding Fultz,
Floyd fled into the forest. The other two officers enlisted the help of local
retired police officer Chester K. Smith, a former sniper during World War I,
and subsequently captured Richetti. Floyd remained on the run, living on fruit,
traveling on foot, and quickly becoming exhausted.[citation needed]
At least three
accounts exist of the following events: one given by the FBI, one by other
people in the area, and one by local law enforcement. The accounts agree that,
after obtaining some food at a local pool hall owned by a friend Charles Joy,
Floyd hitched a ride in an East Liverpool neighborhood on October 22, 1934. He
was spotted by the team of lawmen, at which point he broke from the vehicle and
fled toward the treeline. Local retired officer Chester Smith fired first,
hitting Floyd in the right arm, knocking him to the ground. At this point, the
three accounts diverge; the FBI agents later attempted to claim all the credit,
denying local law enforcement were even present at the shooting.[18]According
to the local police account, Floyd regained his footing and continued to run,
at which point the entire team opened fire, knocking him to the ground.[citation needed] Floyd died shortly
thereafter from his wounds.
According to
the FBI, four FBI agents, led by Purvis, and four members of the East Liverpool
Police Department, led by Chief Hugh McDermott, were searching the area south
ofClarkson,
Ohio, in two separate cars. They spotted a car move from behind a corn
crib, and then move back. Floyd then emerged from the car and drew a .45
caliber pistol, and the FBI agents opened fire. Floyd reportedly said:
"I'm done for. You've hit me twice."[citation needed]
Years later,
Chester Smith, the retired East Liverpool Police Captain and sharpshooter,
described events differently in a 1979 interview for Time magazine.
Smith, who was credited with shooting Floyd first, stated that he had
deliberately wounded, but not killed, Floyd. He added: "I knew Purvis
couldn't hit him, so I dropped him with two shots from my .32 Winchester
rifle." According to Smith's account, after being wounded, Floyd fell and
did not regain his footing. Smith then disarmed Floyd. At that point, Purvis
ran up and ordered: "Back away from that man. I want to talk to him."
Purvis questioned Floyd briefly, and after receiving curses in reply ordered
agent Herman "Ed" Hollis to "Fire into
him." Hollis then shot Floyd at point-blank range with a sub-machine gun,
killing him. The interviewer asked if there was a cover-up by the FBI, and
Smith responded: "Sure was, because they didn't want it to get out that
he'd been killed that way."[citation needed]
FBI agent
Winfred E. Hopton disputed Chester Smith's claim in a letter to the editors of Time
Magazine, published in the November 19, 1979, issue, in response to the Timearticle
"Blasting a G-Man Myth." He stated that he was one of four FBI agents
present when Floyd was killed, on a farm several miles from East Liverpool,
Ohio. According to Hopton, members of the East Liverpool police department
arrived only after Floyd was already mortally wounded. He also claimed that
when the four agents confronted Floyd, Floyd turned to fire on them, and two of
the four killed Floyd almost instantly. Additionally, while Smith's account
said that Herman Hollis shot the wounded Floyd on Purvis's order, Hopton
claimed that Hollis was not present. Hopton also stated Floyd's body was
transported back to East Liverpool in Hopton's personal car.[18]
Floyd's body
was embalmed and briefly viewed at the Sturgis Funeral Home in East Liverpool,
Ohio, before being sent on to Oklahoma. Floyd's body was placed on public
display in Sallisaw, Oklahoma. His funeral was attended by
between 20,000 and 40,000 people and remains the largest funeral in Oklahoma
history. He was buried in Akins,
Oklahoma.[19]

HERÓIS OU VILÕES?
Por Elaine Lima, especialista em Sociologia e Filosofia
Edição: Carolina Lopes
Desenvolvendo
um novo estilo de vida, quase nômade, os cangaceiros marcaram não só a história
do Nordeste como também do Brasil. Embora tenham se utilizado do medo e da
violência como armas, seus membros figuram até hoje, paradoxalmente, como
heróis e malfeitores.
Eric Hobsbawm, um dos maiores historiadores da modernidade, foi um estudioso que tentou compreender o cangaço, também conhecido como “banditismo social”. O historiador acredita que essa forma de expressão popular que viveu na ilegalidade não é apenas o reflexo da crise e dos problemas da sociedade rural, como a fome, a peste e a guerra, mas também uma forma de autoajuda, que buscava escapar desses problemas. Na visão do autor, os bandidos seriam “ativistas, e não ideólogos ou profetas dos quais se deve esperar novas visões ou novos planos de organização política”. Estariam mais para líderes que utilizavam o facão, ou seja, a violência, para abrir caminhos. Assim, o estudioso conclui que a criminalidade era apenas uma estratégia de sobrevivência e de defesa desses grupos marginalizados.

Há
historiadores que apresentem ainda os cangaceiros como um grupo de justiceiros
que embora utilizasse erroneamente a violência, lutava no sentido de buscar a
justiça social. Outros estudiosos apontam ainda outros aspectos do cangaço,
afirmando que era comum os cangaceiros se aliarem a coronéis, padres e chefes
políticos – justamente aqueles contra os quais deveriam lutar –, bastando que
isso fosse conveniente. Lampião, por exemplo, passou de bandido procurado a
defensor da pátria ao ser convocado para assumir a função de “capitão” no
Batalhão Patriótico que combateria a Coluna Prestes quando esta se aproximava do Ceará.
A divergência entre os estudiosos mostra como, ainda hoje, é difícil compreender o papel histórico de figuras como Maria Bonita e Lampião. Para alguns, o casal de cangaceiros é formado por verdadeiros heróis; para outros, simples bandidos. Fato é que, até por essa postura dúbia desses guerrilheiros do Sertão, a dupla que fez história na Caatinga tornou-se se uma espécie de mito.
