On American Lot-Games, As Evidence Of Asiatic Intercourse: Before The Time Of Columbus is a book written by Edward Burnett Tylor and first published in 1896. The book explores the origins of lot-games in America and their possible connections to Asian cultures. Tylor examines various forms of lot-games played by different American tribes and compares them to similar games played in Asia. He argues that these similarities provide evidence of pre-Columbian contact between the two continents. The book also delves into the history of lot-games in Europe and the Middle East, as well as their cultural significance. Tylor was a prominent anthropologist and his work on lot-games is considered an important contribution to the study of pre-Columbian America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world’s literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
