This famous book by preacher and theologian Ethan Smith puts forth
the notion that the Native American tribes are descended from the
Ten Lost Tribes of Israel. The idea that the distant forebears of
the Native American tribes had somehow arrived in North America
long ago from Israel, perhaps during the Great Flood described in
the Biblical Old Testament, was a popular belief in the USA during
the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Lacking an alternative
explanation for the tribal peoples, the preachers of the era
advanced this Israelite theory, which gained currency especially
among pious Christians in the fledgling United States. Concepts
that Ethan Smith and others advanced were later discredited by
anthropologists, who determined that ancestors of the Native
American peoples had in fact migrated across the frozen plains of
Alaska. Despite being disproven by later research, View of the
Hebrews remains interesting for insights into popular beliefs and
suppositions of religious scholars at the time.
