A trader who lived and worked for four decades among Native
Americans and became a keen observer of their languages, customs
and politics, James Adair (fl.1735 75) studied the Catawba,
Cherokee, Muscogee, Chickasaw and Choctaw, compiling extensive
ethnographic information. Upon publication in 1775, this work was
unique in its treatment of these peoples as well as their
interaction with white traders and colonists. The book also
propounds a theory, popular at the time, that the ancestors of
Native Americans were the lost tribes of Israel; as such it remains
a valuable source for the history of this idea. In part
autobiographical, the work reflects Adair's involvement in trading,
local politics and warfare with the British and French. His
observations remain of great interest to scholars of American
history and ethnography.
