Synopsis

Explore a sweeping, scholarly history of the Pacific States’ native peoples, from Toltec roots to Aztec power and Maya empires.

This volume continues a landmark study of the Native Races of the Pacific States, presenting a detailed survey of early civilizations in Mexico, Guatemala, and adjacent regions. It gathers narrative history, traditions, and cultural developments into a single, searchable edition designed for readers of archaeology and ethnography alike.

Readers will encounter careful examinations of dynastic rise and fall, migrations, religious practices, monumental monuments, and the complex networks that shaped life across Mesoamerica. The work emphasizes evidence from multiple sources and presents a coherent view of centuries of transformation.

• Chronicles the Toltec and Chichimec periods, and the rise of major powers in central Mexico.


• Traces the Aztec era, its institutions, conquests, and key figures through a detailed narrative.


• Delves into the Maya and Quiché regions, including the Quiche-Cakchiquel history of Izmachi and Utatlan.


• Offers context for the broader Central American and East Plateau histories with a weaving of events, traditions, and material culture.

Ideal for readers of historical ethnography and anyone seeking a rigorous, book-length survey of the region's ancient peoples.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from The Native Races of the Pacific States of North America, Vol. 5

This volume concludes the native races or the pacific states. During the year in which it has been going through the press, I have received letters of encouragement from the most eminent scholars of Europe and America, and flattering commendations from learned societies. None but an author can know the value of such cheering words. This, my first attempt, was made in a new field; the scope of the work was very extensive; the system and ma. Chinery by which alone it could be accomplished were untried; and the subject was not one of great popular interest. It was not, therefore, without misgivings that I sent it forth.
