Dreams of the West : a history of the Chinese in Oregon, 1850-1950 = Elegang hua ren fen dou shi, 1850-1950 / [translation to Chinese by Ren Hongbao].

Summary:

Jointly created by the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association and history students at Portland State University, this bilingual (English/Chinese) history fills a gap in immigrant history on the West Coast. In four sections, each devoted to a geographic area of Oregon, the rich-often tragic-history of the Chinese is detailed through researched text and a collection of photos-many from private collections not previously seen by the public.
