"Captain" Virgulino Ferreira da Silva (; 7 June 1897 – 28 July 1938), better known as Lampião (older spelling: ''Lampeão'', , meaning "lantern" or "oil lamp"), was probably the most successful traditional Brazilian bandit leader of the 20th century. The banditry endemic to the Northeast of Brazil was called ''Cangaço''. ''Cangaço'' had origins in the late 19th century but was particularly prevalent in the 1920s and 1930s. Lampião led a band of up to 100 ''cangaceiros'', who occasionally took over small towns and who fought a number of successful actions against paramilitary police when heavily outnumbered. Lampião's exploits and reputation turned him into a folk hero, the Brazilian equivalent of Jesse James or Pancho Villa. His image, as well as that of his partner Maria Bonita, can be seen across the entirety of the Northeast of Brazil. Biography Early life Virgulino was born on June 7, 1897, near the village of Serra Talhada, on his father's 'ranch' named ''Passagem ...
