About the Author:
Lani Ah Tye Farkas is a fourth generation Chinese American, born and raised in Stockton, California. She graduated from San Francisco State University in 1969 and has been an elementary school teacher in Stockton since 1971. Ms. Farkas is the great grand daughter of Yee Ah Tye, the Gold Rush pioneer who established the Ah Tye family in California.
From Booklist:
The first permanent Chinese community in the U.S. did not exist until the mid-nineteenth century. It was the 1849 California gold rush that initially brought a large number of Chinese to San Francisco and the gold mining areas. Eventually they were to migrate to all parts of the nation, constituting one part of its multicultural mosaic. Although the Chinese played an important role in developing the frontier, from mining to railroad construction, they have been to a large extent overlooked by historians. When acknowledged, they have invariably been portrayed as a faceless mass, largely because of the lack of available biographical material. Farkas' extensively researched and well-illustrated book is one of the very few published histories of a Chinese American family. It should inspire other similar efforts on such a neglected subject. Fred Egloff
