Pre-Historic Nations; or, Inquiries concerning some of the Great Peoples and Civilizations of Antiquity, and their Probable Relation to a Still Older Civilization of the Ethiopians or Cushites of Arabia. By John D. Baldwin, A.M. New York: Harper & Brothers 1874.

A world-spanning work in the twilight zone between history and lore. Notably, the author, who was an influential abolitionist and advocate of full equal rights for Black Americans, argues for the importance of ancient Africans and Arabians in the development of civilization.
