Alejandro Marure

MARURE, Alejandro (mah-roo'-ray), Guatemalan geographer, born near Quezaltenango in 1803 ; died in Guatemala in 1866. He participated in the struggle of his country for independence, and, although rich and with the prospects of a political career, devoted himself to scientific researches, and studied for several years the geological formation of the Isthmus of Panama, which was comparatively unknown before him. Among his publications are "Efemdrides de los heehos notables acaecidos en la Republica de Centro America desde el ano 1821, hasta el de 1842" (Guatemala, 1844); "Atlas de Guatemala en ocho cartas," which was engraved and printed at the expense of the government (1848): and " Memoria sobre el Canal de Nicaragua" (1851).
