- Synopsis
- When gold was discovered in California in 1848, word spread quickly throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia. Soon, the United States was inundated with immigrants who sought their fortunes. The influx of Asians into the West resulted in controversial rulings by Congress and in racial discrimination by ordinary Americans. However, many Asians made lasting contributions to the settlement of the West -- from working on the transcontinental railroad to the cultivation of the Bing cherry. This book chronicles the achievements of the talented and diverse group of people known as Asian-Americans.
