Juan Galindo - Spanish, English and Irish descent, but the curious rumor that Juan Galindo was actually born in Ireland as "John Gallager" seems to be false. He fought for Central American independence from Spain, and led the charge that took the fortress at Omoa, the last Spanish stronghold in Central America. Galindo worked for the government of the United States of Central America (see: History of Central America). In addition to his military duties, he wrote accounts of local conditions, topography, and landmarks. He explored a number of ruins of the Maya civilization, including Palenque and Copan, and wrote descriptive accounts. Galindo's publications attracted the attention of US writer John Lloyd Stephens, prompting Stephens' more detailed investigation of the area's ruins. Galindo's writing on the Maya sites are notable as the first pointing.
Junius - Junius Junius, the pseudonym of a writer who contributed a series of letters to the London Public Advertiser, from January 21 1769 to January 21 1772. The signature had been already used by him in a letter of November 21, 1768, which he did not include in his collection of the Letters of Junius published in 1772. The name was chosen in all probability because he had already signed Lucius and Brutus, and wished to exhaust the name of Lucius Junius Brutus the Roman patriot. Whoever the writer was, he wrote under other pseudonyms before, during and after the period between January 1769 and January 1772. He acknowledged that he had written as Philo-Junius, and there is evidence that he was identical with Veteran, Nemesis and other anonymous correspondents.

Gumarcaj - Alvarado in Quetzaltenango. On Alvarado's orders, the city, together with the ruling nobles, were burned. Cut stone originally facing the buildings was taken to build the new buildings of Santa Cruz del Quiché; the ruins were still being mined for construction material through the late 19th century, doing extensive damage to the remains of the old buildings. The site was extensively documented in the colonial era. Miguel Rivera y Maestre wrote a report of the site for the government of Guatemala in 1834. In 1840 it was visited by travel writer John Lloyd Stephens. A more detailed plan of the site was made by Alfred P. Maudslay in 1887. Archeological excavations were made in the 1950s and the 1970s. The site can be visited, although little restoration work has been done.
