""Fusang or the Discovery of America by Chinese Buddhist Priests in the Fifth Century"" is a book written by Charles Godfrey Leland. The book explores the theory that Chinese Buddhist priests discovered America in the fifth century, long before Columbus. The book is based on a Chinese text called ""The Classic of Mountains and Seas"" which describes a place called Fusang, believed by some to be America. Leland examines the evidence for this theory and provides a detailed analysis of the Chinese text. He also explores the historical context of the theory and its impact on the understanding of American history. The book is a fascinating exploration of a little-known theory about the discovery of America and provides a unique perspective on the history of the Americas.1875. 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.
