Chinese Sailed to America Before Columbus: More Secrets from the Dr. Hendon M. Harris, Jr. Map Collection demonstrates pre-Columbian Asian contact by sea with the Americas. These maps reveal secrets that could change our understanding of world history. Initially a skeptic of theory of early arrival of Chinese to the Americas, the author researched to find the meaning of her father's maps. She explored the historical setting and distinctive styles of the maps in the collection and interesting tidbits found on them - including ancient love notes, states secrets, and internationally volatile data. This book details her fascinating findings. Chinese Sailed to America Before Columbus is listed by WCILCOS (World Confederation of Institutes and Libraries for Chinese Overseas Studies) as a recent publication and is endorsed by Dr. Hwa-Wei Lee, retired Chief of the Asian Division Library of Congress who wrote: "The findings that world maps were made in China long before the 15th century and that Chinese had known and visited the Americas many years before Columbus are reflected in ancient Chinese maps and other supporting evidence. "Charlotte Harris Rees has devoted nine years to researching the subject of the early arrival of Asians to the Americas. She was initially inspired by the Korean map collection of her father, Dr. Hendon M. Harris, Jr., and his book, The Asiatic Fathers of America (1973). "In 2006 Charlotte Harris Rees published an abbreviated edition of her father's The Asiatic Fathers of America. Through her painstaking research she went on to publish two more books of her own - Secret Maps of the Ancient World and now Chinese Sailed to America Before Columbus. Both of these books are the results of much more evidence that was gathered by the author in her extensive research and tireless scholarly pursuit. "These books are recommended reading for all those interested in revisiting world history in a new light."
