Antiquarian inquiries into America’s ancient past

A reproduction of the 1835 edition, this work gathers accounts and arguments about ancient peoples in the Americas and the origins attributed to them. Its scope includes descriptions of monumental ruins and conjectures about the people associated with those remains. The publisher’s description presents the book as compiled from travel accounts, other sources, and antiquarian society research, placing it within the historical and antiquarian writing of its period. Its claims and framework should be understood as those of the 1835 text, rather than as a contemporary archaeological account.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in nineteenth-century historical and antiquarian writing
  • Those exploring early accounts of ancient American peoples and ruins
