Found at Last: the Veritable Garden of Eden
Or a place that answers the Bible description of the notable spot better than anything yet discovered
"Found at Last: the Veritable Garden of Eden" by Rev. D. O. Van Slyke is a unique exploration that combines elements of religious interpretation and geography, written in the late 19th century. This book puts forth the controversial assertion that the Garden of Eden, as described in the Bible, is located on the eastern bank of the Mississippi River between La Crosse, Wisconsin, and Winona, Minnesota. The author argues that the landscape and geographic features of this region align more closely with biblical descriptions than any other location previously proposed. In the book, Van Slyke lays out a detailed argument supporting his claim, reflecting both reverence for biblical accounts and a deep appreciation for the natural splendor of the American landscape. He meticulously describes the topography, including the rivers, bluffs, and fertile valleys, positing that this region has the necessary ecological qualities to sustain a populous civilization. He emphasizes the moral and spiritual dimensions of the area, asserting that it is a place for intellectual and moral development, echoing the idyllic characteristics of Eden. Throughout, Van Slyke invites readers to 'come and see,' encouraging exploration and personal observation of the landscapes he describes as a literal paradise on earth.
