This is a really interesting book of local interest. Mark and Laurie Nickless hypothesize that the "Piasa bird" (painted on a cliff face in Alton, IL) was actually two Chinese dragons, painted by Chinese explorers. The authors don't have a ton of proof for their theory, and the illustrations within leave ALOT to be desired, but it is quite provocative and really makes you wonder.
