1. 979.4/55 - The book is a revealing portrait of the Chinese émigrés of western America, a people laughing, crying, fighting and loving in the Chinatown community of Stockton, California, the gateway to the Mother Lode and the San Joaquin Valley. Using a historical perspective, the author reviews why the Chinese left their native land and looks at the City of Stockton in which the Chinese settled. Being the third stop on the way to the gold fields, the development of a Chinese community within its township was a significant event. The author also discusses social and economic issues and the role of Chinese women and marriage in the culturally changing environment.

2. 979.404-L - 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.
