What Members Thought

The story of the two men who first brought the Mayan ruins to international attention. I remember reading this story as a child in a short history of archaeology and being enthralled. It was exciting this time too. Carlsen also covers the unusual and interesting lives of Stephens and Catherwood and also a very interesting period in modern Central American history. There were slow parts but overall I really enjoyed this.
