"This careful account of [Hiram] Bingham's archaeological work ... may be read for instruction about Machu Picchu or simply
for its great human interest. It is an excellent read."

"An account of Bingham's most famous accomplishment- 'discovering' in 1911 'the lost city' of the Incas on Machu Picchu Mountain
in Peru. This, however, was only one event in an event-packed life."
