Jeremiah has the lost tribes in vague "north country," "coasts of the world," and "distant isles."

Across the Sabbath River begins with the comical adventures of an ethnographically naive orthodox rabbi and a reluctant tag-along journalist, Hillel Halkin, as they hunt for lost tribes among the Chiang in southwest China, the Pashtun in Afghanistan, and the Karen in southeast Asia.
