About This Book

A nineteenth-century travel narrative recounts a journey through the Yucatán Peninsula, recording arrival at coastal ports, a stay in Mérida, and excursions to major ancient sites including Chi-Chen, Kahbah, Zayi, and Uxmal. The account combines on-the-ground descriptions of ruins’ plans and conditions, sketches and illustrations, and practical travel detail with observations on local customs, climate, political circumstances, and philological notes. Emphasis is placed on archaeological and ethnographic facts intended to inform further study, together with candid personal impressions of hospitality, hardship, and the provincial landscape.
