( About the Book The Americas were settled by people migr...)
About the Book The Americas were settled by people migrating from Asia at the height of an Ice Age 15,000 years ago. There was no contact with Europeans until Vikings appeared briefly in the 10th century, and the voyages of Christopher Columbus from 1492. America's Indigenous peoples were the Paleo-Indians, who were initially hunter-gatherers. Post 1492, Spanish, Portuguese and later English, French and Dutch colonialists arrived, conquering and settling the discovered lands over three centuries, from the early 16th to the early 19th centuries. The United States achieved independence from England in 1776, while Brazil and the larger Hispanic American nations declared independence in the 19th century. Canada became a federal dominion in 1867. Also in this Book United States history began with the migrations of Indigenous people prior to 15,000 BC. Christopher Columbus's 1492 expedition enabled European colonization, with most colonies formed after 1600. By the 1770s, 13 British colonies held 2.5 million people along the Atlantic coast east of the Appalachians. The British government imposed new taxes after 1765 and would not agree to the colonists having a say in their determination. The American War of Independence, 1775–1783, ensued, resulting in independence, and another war was declared against Britain in 1812. The next 50 years saw the expansion of American states and territories through the west, however growth was curtailed by the costly American Civil War, which broke out in 1861 over the Confederate States' wish to continue the practice of slavery, and the Union's wish to preserve the union. By 1865 some 620,000 people died, making it the most costly in US history. Alaska was purchased from Russia in 1867. The next decades up to World War 1 saw large migrations from Europe and massive growth in the US economy. The US had a short but decisive influence on World War 1, suffered during the Great Depression, and had an even greater decisive influence on the outcome of World War 2. The US then engaged in a Cold War with its military and ideological adversary, the USSR, which disintegrated in 1991. Over the 20th century the US was not just a dynamo of technological advancement, but also contributed greatly to world growth.

The Lord was worshipped after the same manner and with the same impure rites as the Baals of the native population. Under Ahab, of the house of Omri, the cult of the Phoenician Baal was introduced. The worship of the host of heaven was particularly in vogue in the time with which we are concerned.

Max Leopold Margolis was the son of Isaac and Hinde Bernstein Margolis. He was born on October 15, 1866 in Merech, Vilna. His father was a Rabbi and a descendant of the great Hebrew scholar, Lipmann Halevi Heller.
Margolis was educated at Merech and Warsaw, 1873-83; graduated from the Leibnitz Gymnasium, Berlin, in 1889, in which year he came to America and entered Columbia University. He received the degrees of M. A. in 1890 and Ph. D. in 1891, and spent another year at Columbia in further post-graduate studies. He was essentially a philologian and devoted himself to the whole cycle of the Semitic languages. He also had a good knowledge of Latin and Greek. He began his teaching in 1892 at the Hebrew Union College, Cincinnati, Ohio, where he was assistant professor of Hebrew and Biblical exegesis until 1897. He then was called to the University of California, where he was assistant professor of Semitic languages and literature from 1897 to 1898 and associate professor from 1898 to 1905.
He returned to the Hebrew Union College, holding the professorship of Biblical exegesis from 1905 to 1907, and in 1909 was called to the chair of Biblical philology at the Dropsie College for Hebrew and Cognate Learning, retaining that position until his death. In 1924-25 he held the post of annual professor at the American School for Oriental Research in Jerusalem and also lectured at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem that year. In the various institutions in which he gave instruction, he was known as an exact and inspiring teacher and has left many devoted disciples in various parts of the world. In 1908 Margolis was invited to become the secretary of a board of editors engaged in a Jewish translation into the English language of the Holy Scriptures and had added to this secretaryship the post of editor-in-chief. He labored with his colleagues from 1908 to 1914 and the translation was published in 1917. He was one of the editors of the Journal of the American Oriental Society from 1922 to 1932 and an editor of the Journal of Biblical Literature from 1914 to 1921. He began his production of scientific publications with two works, published in the early nineties, having to do with the study of the Talmud. Then he principally devoted himself to grammatical work in pure Hebrew and later took up studies in the Greek Old Testament. Some of the most useful and best known of his many works were his Manual of the Aramaic Language of the Babylonian Talmud (1910), of great use to students; A History of the Jewish People (1927), written in collaboration with Alexander Marx, a remarkably accurate study; The Holy Scriptures with Commentary: Micah (1908); The Story of Bible Translations (1917); and The Hebrew Scriptures in the Making (1922). For a long period of years he had set his heart on the study of the Greek text of the Book of Joshua. Toward this end he published many preliminary papers and before his death there appeared the first part of The Book of Joshua in Greek (1931), of which the Second Part followed. This was a most laborious undertaking and was called by Professor James A. Montgomery "the monument to the scholarship of Margolis. " Margolis was short, rather solidly built, possessed of few recreations, a man of wide reading. When he wished to change the current in his thought in later years, he read astronomy.
