Ex-library, Good condition Charles Even's book, The Lost Tribes of Israel: Or, The First of the Red Men, is a contribution to 19th-century theories linking Native Americans to the lost tribes of Israel. This idea stemmed from a broader trend where early European settlers and American writers sought explanations for the origins of Indigenous people, often through biblical frameworks. Even’s work reflects the attempt to reconcile Native American existence within a Christian narrative, demonstrating how religious and cultural ideas influenced racial theories and American identity at the time.
