Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book compiles the writings of LÃ on Angrand, a 19th-century French diplomat, consul general, and passionate researcher of American antiquities. While serving in various diplomatic postings throughout the Americas, Angrand dedicated himself to studying the archeology, history, and linguistics of the indigenous peoples of the Americas. The book is an assemblage of articles, reports, and essays, many of which appeared in journals and bulletins of learned societies during Angrand's life. It covers a wide range of topics related to the ancient civilizations of the Americas, including the origins of Native American peoples, the decipherment of Mayan hieroglyphics, the exploration of ancient ruins, and the study of indigenous languages and folklore. Presented together in this volume, these writings shed light on the state of archeological research on indigenous American cultures in the 19th century. Angrand's work is a testament to the intellectual curiosity and dedication of early Americanists and provides valuable insights into the development of the field of American archeology.
