"The History of Ancient America, Anterior to the Time of Columbus" by George Jones is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This work explores the identity of the Native American populations, arguing for their connections to ancient peoples, specifically the Tyrians and Israelites, while also advocating for the introduction of Christianity into the Americas prior to Columbus' arrival. The book is likely to appeal to readers interested in alternative historical narratives regarding pre-Columbian America, religious intersections, and the cultural connections between ancient civilizations. The opening of this text introduces the author's dedication to significant figures, setting a tone of reverence toward the historic inquiry of America's past. Jones expresses a belief in the historical significance of the Native American peoples, who he claims share a cultural and historical lineage with ancient Israelites and Tyrians. He lays out a framework for examining the historical identity of these indigenous groups through their customs, religious practices, and the ancient ruins found throughout the Americas. The initial chapters emphasize the stark contrasts between the Northern and Southern tribes, setting the stage for a greater discussion on the ancient civilization's contributions to American history and their connections to biblical narratives.
