Description:
 With the discovery of gold in California in 1848, and subsequent rich strikes throughout the region, the world rushed to the Far West. Among the hopeful newcomers were Chinese immigrants, who beyond the gold fields played key roles in the development of the West’s transportation, agricultural and industry.

Bob Boyd’s program will tell the lives of these proud and industrious westerners through images, artifacts and stories from their experience in the West.
