I purchased "Incidents of Travel in Yucatan" Vols. 1 and 2 printed by Panorama Editorial from Mexico in 1995. I don't know if this book is still in print but it's a great resource.


 * Several editions of "...Central America..." and "...Yucatan" have been availible in print recently. The Dover editions are perhaps the most common, but I believe they've all been in print constantly for decades. "...Palestine..." I believe has also been in print. No doubt Amazon.com has information on what is currently availible. -- Infrogmation 03:15, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Most of his stuff is freely available online now as a scanned book. -- Stbalbach 19:30, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Benjamin Moore Norman
Some of the editors of this page may be interested in improving Benjamin Moore Norman, closely linked to Stephens, bearing in mind that it is a rough translation from his Spanish article (please read the talkpage first). Please reply on my talkpage or Norman's for further questions. Thank you.Zigzig20s (talk) 18:57, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

Possible vandalism?
"Stephens was actually able to buy the city of Copan for a sum of $50 and had dreams of floating it down the river and into museums in The United States." Seems vandalism.--Hanberke (talk) 08:15, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

Not vandalism. Stephens records the purchase in "Incidents of Travel in Central America... etc." von Hagen reports he later shipped 2 large stones from Kabah to NYC which were displayed on Cruger's Island in the Hudson and later purchased by the American Museum of Natural History (Catalog No: 30.0/ 4773) View at: https://anthro.amnh.org/anthropology/databases/common/image_dup.cfm?database=MIXDATA&catno=30%2E0%2F%204773 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.253.135.22 (talk) 14:53, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
