Synopsis
What This Book Argues
Placeholder synopsis client to supply final book description. Deliverance follows a single stubborn observation: that Hebrew words appear diffused throughout Native American place names and speech, most densely in the Siouan family.
Placeholder synopsis from that observation the book builds a navigational model. The ships of Tarshish, sailing the currents of Havilah the Great Circle Oceanic Gyre could make a three-year round trip westward to the isles afar off and return with the trade winds.
Placeholder synopsis the result is part lexicon, part sea chart, part lament: an argument that a remnant escaped, sailed, landed, and left its language behind in the names of rivers and hills.
