Incidents of Travel in Yucatan

Incidents of Travel in Yucatan

by John Lloyd Stephens  •  Karl Ackerman (Editor)

  • ARCHAEOLOGY
  • 1996
  • PAPER
  • 286 PAGES

A classic, first published in 1841. Stephens chronicles in rich detail his rediscovery of 44 Maya sites in the Yucatan, among them Chichen Itza, Uxmal, Kabah and Tulum. This new one-volume edition, organized geographically, is especially abridged for the visitor. Edgar Allan Poe called the book "perhaps the most interesting travel book ever published." Dozens of modern and archival photographs complement Frederick Catherwood's original drawings.  (MEX02, $16.95)
