Abstract
This chapter details the earliest stages of the American obsession with Palestine. It provides capsule narratives of visits to Ottoman Palestine by Herman Melville and Mark Twain, and early settler colonies of Christian missionaries, such as the Adams Colony and the free-living “American colony.” The content also sources the American obsession with Israel to the Bible, and a Christian desire to convert Jews to their beliefs.
