The book "Incidents of Travel in Central America, Chiapas, and Yucatan" recounts the author's travels through the Yucatan peninsula, where they explored 44 ruined cities and sites with ancient remains. These places were largely unknown and abandoned by locals, but the author sought to document them before they were lost forever due to weather and time. Through detailed illustrations from Daguerreotype views and drawings by Mr. Catherwood, along with engravings made under his supervision, the author sheds light on the fading monuments of a mysterious people.
