Chinese migration (jan 1, 1852 – jan 1, 1875)

Description:

Some two hundred thousand Chinese migrated to California alone. Some, like Fast Hing Chin, negotiated their own passage and sought to make their fortune in the gold rush, but most traveled on indentured labor contracts that required them to cultivate crops or work on the Central Pacific Railroad.
