Endorsements of Courage, Endurance, Sacrifice
“Rich in historical facts, this
biographical work of three generations of missionary work
in one family covering the period from 1875 to 1972 and
from “Wild West” Texas and Mexico then later to China and
Taiwan is amazingly detailed. This latest publication by
Charlotte Harris Rees vividly depicts the courage,
endurance, and sacrifice of those pioneering missionary
workers in faith.
“In this well-researched book the
author offers a good picture of the true nature of
missionary work and of the contributions missionaries have
made in many parts of the world.
“For readers
interested in the modern history of China during the most
turbulent period of its history, this book also provides
useful insights.”

Retired Chief
of the Asian Division,

“In Courage, Endurance, Sacrifice Charlotte Harris Rees
inspires readers in a carefully researched portrayal of
three generations of her family as they faced epic degrees
of adversity with simple, reasoned, obedient, and patient
endurance. The family’s selfless witness allowed them to
become uniquely one with their indigenous people groups in
a truly shared humanity. I recommend this page-turner.”

Is there evidence
that ancient America was discovered
and colonized long before
Christopher Columbus?
|
|
In 1972 the late Dr.
Hendon M. Harris, Jr. made a startling discovery. While
searching for Chinese collectibles he came across an ancient
Asian map book containing a world map showing a land mass
labeled "Fu Sang" to the east of China, land that we
today call America.

After years of research
and his discovery of the existence of twenty-nine other
supporting maps, Dr. Harris published a 796 page book titled
The
Asiatic Fathers of America. That book has long been out of
print and for years after Dr. Harris' death the map collection
just lay in a box under his son's bed.
In 2003, with the
sudden world-wide interest in this topic, the family took the
maps to the Library of Congress. For three years the maps were
there while being studied.
On May 16, 2005 Dr. Harris' daughter, Charlotte Harris Rees,
gave a speech at the Library of Congress about the early
arrival of Chinese to America (CLICK
HERE for a
full transcript). Now Mrs. Rees is presenting this condensed, easy
reading version of Dr. Harris' original text.
Recent research on DNA
and on the method of the Indians arrival to America support
what Dr. Harris taught - Chinese came early and they came by
sea.
This abridged version
of Dr. Harris' book, The Asiatic Fathers of America,
contains several never before released pictures of the Harris
map collection. The book also contains a brief biography about
Dr. Harris' unusual life written by his daughter Charlotte.

Harris, a third generation missionary, was
born in Kaifeng, China to American parents. He learned both Chinese
and English at a very early age. He was familiar with the Chinese classics
which down through the centuries discussed Fu Sang in detail.
Most Chinese today believe that Fu Sang was just myth, but was
it? Harris' introductions to the maps, Chinese classics, and
the similarities of American Indians to Chinese give new
insights to this topic.
