Full Description

Written in December 1879 from the Tower of London by Colonel J. C. Gawler (Keeper of the Crown Jewels), Dan: The Pioneer of Israel offers a historical and biblical investigation into the early enterprise, seafaring ventures, and geographical settlements of the biblical Tribe of Dan.

Gawler traces the migrations and naming customs of the Danites, examining linguistic and archaeological connections between the Hebrew Tribe of Dan, the Danai/Argives of ancient Greece, the Scythians around the Black Sea, and early European tribal groups. This 1984 reprint published by Artisan Sales provides a key primary text for researchers studying 19th-century British-Israel historical theories and ancient tribal heraldry.

Key Topics & Highlights:

• Maritime & Early Enterprise: Analyzes biblical accounts (such as Deborah’s song asking why Dan remained in ships) alongside ancient Phoenician and Grecian trading routes.

• Linguistic & Place-Name Evidence: Explores the Danite tradition of naming rivers, landmarks, and settlements after their ancestor Dan.

• Scythian & European Connections: Investigates historical records from Herodotus, Tacitus, and early annals regarding Scythian migrations, the Danai, and northern European settlements.

• Prophetic Appendix: Includes a dedicated appendix addressing theological questions regarding Revelation 7 and why the Tribe of Dan was omitted from the list of the 144,000.
