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.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eDedication\u003cbr\u003e Preface\u003cbr\u003e A history of the North American Indians\u003cbr\u003e Observations on the origins and descent of the Indians\u003cbr\u003e Observations, and arguments, in proof of the American Indians being descended from the Jews\u003cbr\u003e Accounts of the nations\u003cbr\u003e General observations on the North American Indians\u003cbr\u003e Appendix.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: History of the Americas [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on History of the Americas\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22History%20of%20the%20Americas%20%5BHBJK%5D%22\"\u003eHBJK\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266137608472,"sku":"9781108060189","price":39.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108060189i_8b5f71f7-3544-4d0b-a349-a54b0c3999f5.jpg?v=1696747476","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-history-of-the-american-indians-particularly-those-nations-adjoining-to-the-mississippi-east-and-west-florida-georgia-south-and-north-carolina-and-virginia-paperback-9781108060189","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
