Fusang or the Discovery of America by Chinese Buddhist Priests in the Fifth Century

Charles Godfrey Leland

  1. Leland’s translation of Professor Neumann’s narrative from the Chinese text of the Yearbook and that of Hoei-shin, the Buddhist monk, on the possibility of the Buddhists discovering America. Also included is a letter from Colonel Barclay Kennon, who passed several years in the North Pacific, and is of the opinion that the voyage supposed to have been taken by the Buddhist monks is easily practicable, and might be effected even in an open boat.
