Description

In 2003, Paul Chiasson climbed a mountain he never explored at the island where he grew up. Cape Breton, one of the most oldest points of exploration within the Americas, is littered with remnants of old settlements. The road he found that day used to be unique. Consistently wide and formerly bordered with stone walls, the road had been a big undertaking. For the next two years, he surveyed the history of Europeans in North The united states, and came to a stunning conclusion: The ruins he discovered didn’t belong to the Portuguese, French, or English and pre-dated John Cabot’s “discovery” of the island in 1497. With aerial and web page photographs, maps, drawings and his expertise within the history of architecture, Chiasson pieces together clues to one of the most world’s great mysteries. The Island of Seven Cities reveals the existence of a big Chinese colony that thrived on Canadian shores well before the European Age of Discovery and unveils the first tangible proof that the Chinese were within the New World before Columbus.
