Description
1843 Rambles in Yucatan Peninsula MAYAN Kabah Uxmal Ruins Mexico Norman



Benjamin Moore Norman was a 19th-century writer who was best remembered for his voyage and subsequent book of the Yucatan. In his book “Rambles in Yucatan”, Norman describes his discoveries from spending three months in the Yucatan Peninsula. In it he writes of:

Interactions with indigenous wise men

Learning and understanding tribal Mayan languages

Witnessing miracles, tribal dances and ceremonies

Visiting and illustrating Mayan ruins

Remarks on the political and social status of Yucatan



This work proved to be highly popular following its first release, so much so that Norman was pushed to make numerous editions. This 1843 edition is considered quite valuable itself – a rare and important history of the Maya people and the Yucatan Peninsula.
