Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Descriptive Account of the Republic of Guatemala, Central America The Indians neither lacked of the intelligence to conduct their affairs, nor the valor to protect their rights. The natives not having had any share in the political life of the country from the time of the conquest, nor having taken any part in the higher intellectual affairs, had gradually fallen back into a state of indifference, leaving them only sufficient energy to conduct their private affairs, and most ordinary matters of trade and barter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Guatemala, the Land of the Quetzal: A Sketch Belief in the increasing importance of Central America, both geographically and politically, has led the writer of the following pages to collect for his own use and print for the use of others, notes made during three journeys in Guatemala and Honduras. He does not pretend to offer a monograph on Guatemala, nor to add to the general knowledge of Central America; but remembering the lack of guidance from which he suffered in travelling through the country, would in some measure save others from the same inconvenience. He seeks also, with perhaps more ambition to awaken among Americans greater interest in the much-neglected regions between the Republic of Mexico and the Isthmus of Darien.

Download or read book Journey to the Republic of Guatemala Land of the Maya written by Kalman Dubov and published by Kalman Dubov. This book was released on 2023-05-10 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Central American country of Guatemala was populated by the Maya people whose empire extended from Honduras to the south to today's southern Mexico. Remnants of their presence are found throughout this region, with monumental architecture, cities, palaces, and great pyramids. Wherever one looks, the explosion of growth and development captures the viewer in its thrall. Even the many glyphs adorning these sites with their unique writing style are a marvel to behold. They lived here for an estimated two thousand years, and then, in the early 16th century, the Spanish came and conquered these people. By then, their greatness had already ended in the midst of the 10th century, when their culture and civilization collapsed. But they retained their culture by way of thousands of pictographic books which detailed their way of life and their advancements. But the Spaniards, zealous in their Catholicism, sought out and destroyed every such book they could find and burned them all. Except for three such books, known as the Maya Codices. Historians and scholars began the slow process of deciphering the Maya past. Great effort was expended and the reality of their lives, culture, kings, wars and daily practice began to emerge. And the world was astounded by the emerging picture. Perhaps a first in the world, was their mathematical calculation with 'zero,' a phenomenal achievement. Interestingly, the glyph of the zero depicted a woman - what mathematical genius was she to use zero in calculations? Their astronomy of the heavenly spheres was astoundingly precise, as was their knowledge of geometry and trigonometry. Their religion, however, included human sacrifices, following the practice of other nearby civilizations, such as the Aztecs, the Inca in South America, and others. The Spaniards stopped such worship and offerings and now subjugated these people into serfdom called encomiendas, or enforced working for the conquistadors and their descendants. Independence from Spain came in 1821, but the Mayan living conditions did not change. The country became divided between the Spanish descendants, now known as the Criollos, the middle class, known as Ladinos (not to be confused with Jews in 9th century Castilian Spain), and the Maya and other indigenous. The social distance from the upper to lower classes was immense. And that distance came forward during Guatemala's Civil War, from 1960 to 1996. The violence and massacres during this period was so evil, the president of the country, Rios Montt, was charged and convicted of Genocide, the first time a country charged its own leader with this crime. At a previous age and time, the face of Guatemala presented immense achievements. Today, violence, crime, and cultural penury is self-evident. Guatemala is a third-world country, where the majority of its people live in great poverty while the upper class has the land, its abundance and vast wealth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Guatemala and Her People of to-Day: Being an Account of the Land, Its History and Development; The People, Their Customs and Characteristics; To Which Are Added Chapters on British Honduras and the Republic Honduras, With References to the Other Countries of Central America, Salvador, Nicar The very generous reception accorded "Mexico and Her People of To-day," by both public and press, has led the author to believe that there is a field for a book upon a part of Central America covered by him in his travels, prepared on the same general lines as that book, and treating of the people and their customs, as well as the country, its resources and present state of development. There is also the belief in the mind of the author that the English-speaking people of America are becoming more and more interested each year in the "other Americans," those who speak the Latin tongues; but who proudly call themselves "Americans" also, and are as proud of the New World as those of Anglo-Saxon birth. This is his explanation, or apology, for giving to the public another book, which he hopes will receive as kindly a welcome as its predecessor.
