About the book
Chasing Dragons: The True History of the Piasa
While exploring the Mississippi River in 1673, Father Marquette encountered two great dragons painted on a towering bluff near present-day St. Louis. Chasing Dragons examines the earliest records of the image later known as the Piasa and presents evidence connecting its creation to Admiral Zheng Heβs legendary treasure fleet and an extraordinary voyage to America in 1433.
