Abstract
THESE two volumes give a detailed and comprehensive account of the social and religious life of the natives of the Quiche tribe of Guatemala and the Pipil of Salvador. Though collected in modern times, the legends and observances are obviously survivals from the early days when the great cultural development of the Maya peoples gave rise to the most spectacular architectural achievements of the aboriginal American.
