Reviews of Secret Maps of the Ancient World
"Secret Maps of the
Ancient World is a spell-binding
book which presents a compelling case for ancient Chinese
voyagers coming to the Americas. Reading the book, I
felt like I had fallen into the archives for the movie,
National Treasure -- only this time, it's real!!"
Diana Waring,
Author of History curriculum and international speaker
"This scholarly and yet
easy to read book is a major contribution to the early history
of the Americas and the relations to China and other parts of
Asia. There is much evidence that Chinese were in America
hundreds if not thousands of years before Columbus. Based on
the rare Asian maps collection of her late father, Dr. Hendon
M. Harris, the author has painstakingly researched, including
using the resources of the Library of Congress, to present her
findings that Chinese had indeed traveled by sea to the
Americas since 2000 BC."
Dr.
Hwa-Wei Lee,
Former Chief, Asian Division, Library of Congress
(Retired); Dean Emeritus, Ohio University Libraries
"Secret Maps of the
Ancient World is the definitive
reference book on Chinese voyages to America over the past
4000 years. It is a tremendous intellectual achievement. I
hope that 10 years from now it will be in every American
school. The 1421 team gives our warmest congratulations."
Gavin Menzies, author of New York
Times Bestseller 1421 and 1434
“Charlotte Harris Rees,
true to her distinguished pioneer father Hendon, resumes
affronting usually-bypassed primary evidence free of 19th
century dogmas with refreshing skeptical common sense.”

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

Revising History
What is the difference between “revisionist history” and
“revising history.”
Let me give a personal example.
In 2003 when I started examining the topic of the early
arrival of Chinese to America I returned to read my father’s
long out of print book The Asiatic Fathers of America.
That book was published in Taiwan and indicates “copyright
applied for” but does not give a date of publication. I knew
that the Library of Congress had a copy because I saw it there
in Dr. Hebert’s office on my first visit in 2003. Therefore, I
assumed that it must be copyrighted.
Later I visited the U.S. copyright office (on another floor in
the same building). They had no copyright on file for this
book and initially told me that it would be impossible to get
a copyright because the book was published in Taiwan. A few
weeks later a miracle happened. Someone in the copyright
office remembered my name and called me saying that the laws
had changed and that I could get a copyright.
However, I needed the date that the book was first published
in order to complete the copyright application. I did not have
that so I was told to guess a date. I asked family members and
they did not remember exactly, either. Based on what one of my
siblings had in her copy I chose 1975, which is now the
official date on the copyright.
From time to time I see copies of my father’s original book
for sale on the internet. If the price is low I occasionally
purchase. Just recently I bought one that is stamped by the
Writers Guild of America, “registered December 27, 1973.”
Up until now in everything that I wrote about The Asiatic
Fathers of America I put the publication date as 1975.
However, with this new information I am “revising” it to 1973.
Perhaps now that I have new facts it could be viewed as
“revisionist history” if I continued writing that Father’s
book was published in 1975. “Revisionist history” is when we
adjust actual history to fit our preconceived ideas. “Revising
history” is changing what we say based on new concrete
evidence.
