This book, "An Historical Account of the Ten Tribes Settled Beyond the River Sambatyon, in the East," is the first book on Cabala published in the USA. Originally printed in London by the author, Rev. Dr. Moses Edrehi, it was later printed by his son, Isaac Edrehi, in Philadelphia. Published circa 1855. The book details information about Jews in unusual places. Rev. Dr. Moses Edrehi (circa 1774-circa 1842) was an eccentric Moroccan Jewish scholar; he was an itinerant Rabbi who spent time in Europe, especially England, before settling in Israel, where he served as the British Consul in Jerusalem.
