Description:

Offers general readers a narrative account of the Rocky Mountain mining frontier and introduces scholars to a fresh interpretation of the Asian experience in 19th-century America. Challenges the stereotype of Chinese immigrants in the 19th-century American West as victims, showing that their experience in the early history of the Boise Basin, Idaho, was marked by material success and accommodating relations with Euroamericans. Includes b&w photos. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
