Gomes ARTIGOSIESSAYS The United States in Myth and Fact: Two Portuguese Viewsl John Austin Kerr, Jr. One of the more enduring myths related to the exploration and settling of American territory concerns the legend of El Dorado or, more properly, of the Seven Cities ofCibola. Propagated in Europe both literarily and popularly by examples of successful immigrants in spite of sometimes adverse conditions in the New World, reflections of the myth are still to be found in contemporary Portuguese (or Luso-American) literature. "0 Viajante Clandestino,"2 by Jose Rodrigues Migueis,3 is perhaps this author's most positive statement in this regard, although the myth is also observable in other works, such as "0 Cosme de Riba-Douro."4 In both of these short stories, however, the El Dorado aspect represents but a portion of Migueis' commentary on the human condition, as the author is certainly no apologist for the United States, preferr­ ing instead to follow his longstanding principle of accurate observation. Therefore, since Migueis is one of the most important contemporary Luso­ American writers (if not the most important one) using Portuguese as a medium of artistic expression, I propose to examine briefly these two short stories not only in terms of their reflections of the so-called El Dorado myth but also, more importantly,
