The Valley of Vision; or, The Dry Bones of Israel Revived: A Book by George Bush (1844)

Published in New York in 1844, this book, "The Valley of Vision; or, The Dry Bones of Israel Revived," by George Bush, proposes the re-creation of a Jewish state in Palestine. The 66-page book, originally printed in wraps, includes a map of the proposed Jewish State. According to Michael Oren's book, "Power, Faith, and Fantasy: America in the Middle East, 1776 to the Present," Bush's treatise is a significant example of antebellum restorationism, advocating for the elevation of the Jewish people and the establishment of a connection between humanity and God through this restoration. The book is significant as it foreshadows the modern state of Israel.
