Publisher's Synopsis
"The Lost Tribes of Israel, or, The First of the Red Men," originally published in 1861, explores the controversial theory linking Native Americans to the descendants of the Lost Tribes of Israel. This historical text delves into the 19th-century perspectives on ethnology, religious beliefs, and cultural identity. Examining the arguments and evidence presented during this period, the book offers insights into the historical context of the time. It sheds light on the attempts to reconcile biblical narratives with the presence and origins of the indigenous populations of the Americas. This edition allows modern readers to engage with these historical debates and understand the complex interplay between religion, science, and cultural perception in the 19th century.
