Zirkoff, Boris

Stephens, John Lloyd. American traveller and writer, b. at Shrewsbury, N.J., Nov. 28, 1805; d. at New York, Oct. 10, 1852. Having been admitted to the bar, he practised for about eight years in New York. Made extensive travels in Europe, Egypt and Syria, publishing in 1837 an account of them. In 1839, he arranged with Frederick Catherwood to make an exploration in central America, with a view to discovering and examining the antiquities said to exist there. In 1841, he made a second visit to Yucatan. The results of these journeys are embodied in the most interesting narratives: *Incidents of Travels in Central America, Chiapas, and Yucatan. London: John Murray, 1841, in 2 vols.; this work ran into its 12th ed. by 1846; and Incidents of Travel in Yucatan, 1843.
