ResumoThis article reflects on how the natural environment, the elements that characterize it, and the theories involved were all present within the intellectual endeavours that produced historic knowledge in Brazil. In the nineteenth century, wildlife in the form of flora and fauna as well as natural minerals traversed the century as true subjects of the nation, through the work of the Brazilian Institute of History and Geography. From this point of view, we will examine here examples of the writings of Joaquim Manoel de Macedo, Jose Ribeiro Fontes and Jose Silvestre Rebello, intellectuals who helped to found and build the foundations of writing history in which nature itself was the main character. Through them we discover a generation that will prove to influence in a profound way the thinking and the making of Brazilian history.
