The Native Races, Volume 2: Civilized Nations is the second of the five volumes Hubert Howe Bancroft published between 1874 and 1876 on the native peoples of western North America, and the second volume of his collected works. Where the first described the wild tribes from Alaska to Central America, this one treats the Aztecs, Toltecs and other Nahua peoples of central Mexico and the Maya of Yucatán and Guatemala as they were at the time of the Spanish conquest: their governments and kings, laws and courts, warfare, religion and priesthood, calendars and hieroglyphic writing, agriculture, commerce, arts and dress, food, marriage, education and burial. Bancroft built the account from the Spanish chroniclers and later scholarship. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
