Memoir of an Eventful Expedition in Central America is an 1850 narrative published under the name Pedro Velasquez, recounting a supposed expedition to a lost Maya city and the discovery of its inhabitants. Now understood to be a hoax tied to the showman P. T. Barnum’s exhibition of the so-called Aztec children, it is a curious artifact of nineteenth-century popular sensation. The book is a primary source for the history of hoaxes and showmanship. Free PDF download available on BDeBooks.
