Jews may have found their way to America." - The Eclectic Review (1829) "Israel Worsley worked over the material gathered by Boudinot and Smith, and added something." -Narrative and Critical History of America (1889) "Established some very curious coincidences between the Beni-Israel, and some of the American tribes." -The Congregational Magazine, 1828 Are the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel to be found in Native American tribes of North and South America? In 1828, Unitarian minister Israel Worsley sought to answer this question in the affirmative by publishing the book: "A View of the American Indians...Shewing Them to be the Descendants of the Ten Tribes of Israel." The purpose of Worsley's 1828 book was to give a concise but conspicuous view of the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel, extracting from the works of Ethan Smith, Elias Boudinot, and other sources including incidental remarks of historians, Josephus, Prideaux, Gibbon, Robertson and others, such materials as bear directly upon the point in question. Among the proofs cited by Worsley in support of Native Americans being descendants of the lost tribes of Israel are the following: *The American Indians live in tribes; *They have a tradition prevailing universally, that they came into that country at the Northwest corner; *They acknowledge One God, the Great Spirit, who created all things seen and unseen--the name by which this being is known to them is ale, the old Hebrew name of God; he is also called yehovah, sometimes yah, and also abba; *They are distinctly heard to sing with their religious dances, halleluyah or praise to yah; *They keep annual feasts which resemble those of the Mosaic ritual; *There is a sort of jubilee kept by some of them; *They have cities of refuge; *In their temples is a holy place into which none may enter but the priest; *The priests garb is a humble imitation of the High Priest's robes, with a breast plate and other ornaments; *They have a succession of priests, who are inducted into office by purification and anointing; *They had once a holy book, which while they kept, things went well with them; they lost it, and in consequence of the loss fell under the displeasure of the Great Spirit; but they believe they shall one day regain it; *They are looking for and expecting someone to come and teach them the right way. In his concluding chapter, Worsley notes that "in the book of Esdras their journey can be traced into a land where no man dwelt. And although throughout the space of 2,500 years they have not been inquired after, they are not less in being on this account. In that direction which the prophetic historian points out, a way of a year and a half's journey, is a passage to a wide land, wherein they might wander undisturbed from sea to sea. In that land an immense population has been discovered, in their usages and customs unlike any of the tribes and nations existing in Europe or Asia, with peculiar and striking features, which render them remarkable." About the author: Israel Worsley (1768−1836) was an English Unitarian minister. Other works authored by Worsley included: *Account of the State of France . . . and the Treatment of the English, 1806. *Memoir of Jacob Brettell, Lincoln, 1810. *Observations on ... Changes in the Presbyterian Societies of England 1816. *Lectures on ... Nonconformity

Excerpt: ... which lies under the lower joint of the thigh, but always throw it away." Other persons have said they throw it into the fire. "They have been often heard to utter distinctly the word Hallelujah in singing; and at the return of their hunting party they make a feast of which nothing must be left, but all consumed, or entirely disposed of before the next morning; as in the passover of the Israelites; and if any family cannot accomplish the prescribed command, they call in the assistance of their neighbours; as was practised in Canaan when a family was not large enough to consume the paschal lamb." " The American Indians, especially the Cherokees and Choktaws, have in their places of worship, as they call them, the beloved squares, a very humble resemblance of the Cherubim which overshadowed the mercy-seat. Adair saw in one of these squares, two white painted eagles, carved out of poplar wood, with the wings stretched out, standing in a corner five feet from the ground, close to the red and white imperial seats, and within were painted with a white clay the figure of a man, with buffalo's horns, expressive of power, and that of a panther, which is the nearest of the animals of America to a lion. Compare Ex. 37. 9. Ezekiel chap. 10. Each of the Cherubims, according to the prophet, had the head and face of a man, the likeness of an eagle about the shoulders, with expanded wings, the neck, mane and breast of a lion, and the feet of an ox: See Ezekiel, 1. 5. In these squares they dance on the winter nights, singing Hallelujah; also j'o, he, wah: but never discover any signs of adoration of these figures." When the Israelites encamped we learn of them, that they were usually arranged into four divisions, under four different standards, namely, ...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explores the connections between resistance, religion, and reform in the work of the Pequot writer and Methodist minister William Apess. Drawing on the idea of literary democracy, 'The Native American Declaration of Independence' shows how Apess tries to inscribe himself - and his fellow Native Americans - in the political landscape of the new nation. Apess's work as a Native American man of letters suggests literature as a mirror of national history and a social corrective long before the formulation of corresponding theories by modern critics. Located in the crucible of early nineteenth-century tensions, between civil liberty and communal responsibility, between Indian Removal and the American Renaissance, Apess's discourse provides a new context for the reframing of both U.S.-American democracy and literary realism with respect to the multicultural heritage of the American continent.
