Endorsements for The Asiatic Fathers of America

"The Harris collection of maps will, in
the long run, cause an even more fundamental and agonizing
reappraisal of American history than my book has."
Gavin Menzies, author of the best-selling book
1421, the year China discovered America as quoted by
Shannon Brennan, "Were Chinese Here First?" The News and
Advance, Lynchburg, Virginia, May 15, 2005

"The matching of today's known
geography with locations identified on these Chinese maps was
begun by the late Hendon Harris..."
Donald Cyr in "Ancient
Chinese Maps of the World," Across Before Columbus:
Evidence for Transoceanic Contact with the Americas
Prior to 1492, NEARA, 1998

“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.”
Robert Schoch, Yale
1983, PhD,
Professor of Natural Science, College of General
Studies, Boston University author of Voyages of the
Pyramid Builders, Penguin Putnam, New York 2003

“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.”

numerous books including A Critical Reprise of ‘Aboriginal’ American History,
1999- 2005
