Edward H. Thompson was born in Worcester, Massachusetts. Initially inspired by the books of John Lloyd Stephens, Thompson devoted much of his career to study of the Maya civilization.

The article did succeed in attracting attention to Thompson, and the American Antiquarian Society agreed to finance a trip for him to go to Yucatán to examine the ruins there.
