Book Description
The Maya Chronicles Brinton's Library Of Aboriginal American Literature, Number1 Daniel Garrison Brinton The Name "Maya." In his second voyage, Columbus heard vague rumors of a mainland westward from Jamaica and Cuba, at a distance of ten days' journey in a canoe. Its inhabitants were said to be clothed, and the specimens of wax which were found among the Cubans must have been brought from there, as they themselves did not know how to prepare it. During his fourth voyage (1503-4), when he was exploring the Gulf southwest from Cuba, he picked up a canoe laden with cotton clothing variously dyed. The natives in it gave him to understand that they were merchants, and came from a land called Maia. This is the first mention in history of the territory now called Yucatan, and of the race of the Mayas; for although a province of similar name was found in the western extremity of the island of Cuba, the similarity was accidental, as the evidence is conclusive that no colony of the Mayas was found on the Antilles. These islands were peopled by a wholly different stock, the remnants of whose language prove them to have been the northern outposts of the Arawacks of Guiana, and allied to the great Tupi-Guaranay stem of South America. Maya was the patrial name of the natives of Yucatan. It was the proper name of the northern portion of the peninsula. No single province bore it at the date of the Conquest, and probably it had been handed down as a generic term from the period, about a century before, when this whole district was united under one government.

Book Description
Daniel Garrison Brinton (1837-99) was an American surgeon, historian, archaeologist, and ethnologist. After graduating from Yale in 1858 he studied at Jefferson Medical College, later continuing his studies in Paris and Heidelberg. During the American Civil War he was a surgeon in the Union army, but suffered sun-stroke at the Third Battle of Chattanooga and was never after able to travel in very hot weather, a handicap that affected his career as an ethnologist. After the war, Brinton practiced medicine in West Chester, Pennsylvania, and was editor of the Medical and Surgical Reporter in Philadelphia from 1874-87. He became professor of ethnology and archaeology in the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia in 1884, and was professor of American linguistics and archaeology in the University of Pennsylvania from 1886 until his death. Brinton was a member of numerous learned societies in the US and in Europe, serving as president to several at different times. Between 1868-99 he wrote many books and a large number of pamphlets, addresses, and magazine articles, including American Hero-Myths: A Study in the Native Religions of the Western Continent; The Myths of the New World; Races and Peoples: Lectures on the Science of Ethnography; and Nagualism, A study in Native American Folk-Lore and History. This work, subtitled A Study in Ethnic Psychology, was published posthumously in 1902 in Putnam's 'The Science Series', having been all but completed at the time of Brinton's death.
