More about the book
The book explores the possibility of ancient Chinese travelers reaching North America's west coast long before Columbus. Folklorist Leland compiles interpretations of the writings of Chinese Buddhist missionary Hoei-Shin, who recounts a voyage to "Fusang," believed to reflect the geography, cultures, and peoples of the Pacific Northwest. This intriguing analysis challenges conventional historical narratives and presents compelling evidence from ancient Asian texts.
