About the Book
A Language That Crossed an Ocean
Hebrew words appear diffused throughout Native American place names and speech most densely in the Siouan, Lakota and Dakota tongues. Deliverance follows that thread back to the ships of Tarshish and a three-year westward voyage along the currents of Havilah.
