Bancroft reference notes for Central America : mss., [ca. 1870-1890]

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/85014922

Consists of bibliographic and reference notes pertaining to and used in preparation of v. 6-8 of Hubert Howe Bancroft's History of the Pacific states of North America. His research notes track the initial contact by Europeans with the land and native people of Darien (Panama), Belize, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, the Mosquito Coast, Salvador, Yucatan, and Peru, including various political, social, religious, and economic upheavals, changes, and developments in each country or region between the 1490s and the 1880s. The references draw heavily on the Alphonse Pinart collection of books and manuscripts purchased by Bancroft and cataloged into his collection in 1883. The variation in scripts found in these handwritten notes provide evidence of the team of researchers employed by H.H. Bancroft.
