SUMMARY:Chinese Lives in Wyoming - An Overview of Immigrant Lives in Wyoming from 1868 to 1937
DESCRIPTION:Chinese immigrants from Toishan (Taishan) and elsewhere in Guangdong Province contributed much to the development of transportation\, merchandising\, and mining in southwestern Wyoming. Initially it was thought that these immigrants only worked on the railroad in 1869\, but it is becoming increasingly obvious that in that year men from southern China operated laundries and entered the coal industry. The lives and contributions of the men and women from southern China will be discussed as will their overcoming being forcibly removed from Almy coal mines on September 2nd 1885. Significantly\, Chinese grit and tenacity led them to persevere in reforming their communities after their removal from Almy and the attack on Chinatown in Rock Springs on the same day. These two tragic events cannot be overlooked\, but the ability of the immigrants to overcome the tragedy and form new communities in Wyoming that endured for decades will be a point of focus. \nDudley Gardner is Professor Emeritus at Western Wyoming Community College (WWCC) and Principal Investigator for the Western Archaeological and Anthropological Research Institute (WAARI) in Rock Springs\, Wyoming.
