The Island of Seven Cities: Where the Chinese Settled When They Discovered North America by Chiasson, Paul - 2007

Toronto: Vintage Canada , 2007. ....Large soft cover, Reviewers Copy with review slip and press release loosely laid in, 376 pages, flat uncreased spine. "In Cape Breton in the summer of 2002, Paul Chiasson discovered an ancient, wide, well-made road. Finding no record of it in two years of detective work, he came to a stunning conlusion: that a large Chinese colony had thrived in Cape Breton long before John Cabot's arrival. In this startling book, Chiasson shows how the colony was forgotten - except in the culture of the Mi'kmaq which, he persuasively argues, has deep cultural roots in China."
