Summary: "The Knickerbocker, Vol. 10, No. 6, December 1837" by Various is a historical periodical written in the early 19th century. This publication is a collection of literary and cultural essays, poetry, and various other contributions, reflecting the thinking and societal norms of its time. The pieces included within are likely to explore themes relevant to American identity and cultural antiquities, as well as literary critiques and societal observations. The opening of this volume begins with an essay titled "American Antiquities," which discusses the origins of the first inhabitants of America, dismissing various theories about Egyptians, Carthaginians, or Romans being the continent's first inhabitants. The author critiques the validity of the legend of Votan, a mythical figure proposed to connect the indigenous people of Central America with ancient civilizations, arguing against the plausibility of such connections and highlighting the lack of substantive evidence supporting these claims. Additionally, the text hints at broader themes of antiquity and cultural legacy, guiding readers to consider the complexities of historical interpretation and the limits of existing evidence in understanding indigenous origins.
