"The matching of today's known geography with locations identified on these Chinese maps was begun by the late Hendon Harris..."

“In my assessment, The Asiatic Fathers of America is a groundbreaking and important book that was well ahead of its time when it was first privately printed and circulated over thirty years ago. Now the author’s daughter, Mrs. Charlotte Rees, is seeking to have her father’s book properly published and widely circulated for the first time.”

“Hendon Mason Harris, a Baptist missionary in China, noted strong links between the mappemonde and the Shan Hai Ching.”... “Some of the information displayed on the Chinese mappemonde and in certain books of the Shan Hai Ching does seem to deal with places, features, and fauna specific to the American continent. The information it contains could only have been acquired through an exploration of the eastern side of the Pacific.” 

Patrick Huyghe, University of Virginia and Syracuse, in Columbus Was Last, MJF Books, New York, 1992 (Huyghe has written numerous articles for publications such as Omni, New York, the New York Times Magazine and Discover.)

“Harris deserves gratitude for this major historical advance. The Harris Map seems to be a copy of the original that came with the Shan Hai Jing.”
