Synopsis
California: 1847-1896. The rush was on! Ex-convicts, anti-Manchu rebels and adventurers, the Chinese pioneers arrived in the land of the Golden Mountain with firecrackers and lion dancers, adding glitter to the quest for gold. The Chinese had built the Great Wall and could easily building a railroad; Charles Crocker imported them by the thousands. With the railroad workers came gamblers, joy girls, and wildcat-eating hatchet men. For the next fifty years they fought, lived, loved and worked, weaving their traditions inextricably into the fabric of the new world.
