PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
The first volume of the Dover edition of Stephens' 1841 account, an instant bestseller and still an excellent introduction to the people, culture and archaeology of Central America. With 127 engravings by Frederick Catherwood. This first volume includes his arrival in Belize, several chapters on Copan (which so impressed him that he bought the site for $50), and a riveting account of arrival in Guatemala during civil unrest, including the murder of President Flores and an interview with the insurgent Carrera.
