Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pioneering in the Far East: And Journeys to California in 1849 and to the White Sea in 1878 The experiences of a life spent in mercantile adven tures hardly seem to contain sufficient interest to warrant their being made the subject of a book. Neither training nor acquirements had qualified me to be a scientific recorder of the wonders of the Eastern Archipelago, and I have not attempted to figure as such, but have merely tried to put down, as simply as possible, some account of five and twenty years spent among its islands: Yet I venture to hope that the story of my life will not be devoid of some information, and there are two topics on which I can claim to speak with an intimate know ledge, and on one of which I feel bound to record my testimony.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Pioneer Voyage to California and Round the World: 1849 to 1852 Having been, by the decree of fate, the freaks of fortune, the force of circumstances, the destiny of my horoscope, or by some other unseen influence, called or sent, drawn or driven at an advanced age, to wander 'round the globe, and to Spend four years far away from my family, during which time, I have been in a peculiar manner the sport and football of some or all the agencies I have named, - I have now, while on my way home, and daily drawing nearer to my native land, thought to employ some of my leisure hours at sea, in recording some of my experience. I am doing this partly to amuse myself, but chiefly because I be lieve my journal will be interesting to the members of my family, for whose information and amusement I am bound to contribute all in my power, and to the head of which, my well beloved wife, this book is affectionately dedicated, as a feeble token of my estimation of her many virtues. This record is drawn up partly from recollection and partly from notes and memoranda taken en passant, but now when I look back on what has passed, it appears to me to have been a trance, a wonderful dream, a something unreal, a great blank in my existence. I fancy this book will be kept as an heirloom in my family, and I here charge my children never to give away to despond ency under misfortune. Should you be called to encounter dis appointment and losses, remember your Grandfather and your Father; be honest, be firm, be resolute. Hope now, hope always; reflect that all things are under the direction of a Supreme Being, who doeth all things well, and in the darkest hour seek con solation in that reflection.

Download or read book On Gold Mountain written by Lisa See and published by Vintage. This book was released on 1999 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When she was a girl, Lisa See spent summers in the cool, dark recesses of her family`s antiques store in Los Angeles' Chinatown. There, her grandmother and great-aunt told her intriguing, colourful stories about their family`s past - stories of missionaries, concubines, tong wars, glamorous nightclubs, and the determined struggle to triumph over racist laws and discrimination. They spoke of how Lisa`s great-great-grandfather emigrated from his Chinese village to the United States, and how his son followed him. As an adult, See spent fives years collecting the details of her family`s remarkable history. She interviewd nearly one hundred relatives and pored over documents at the National Archives, the immigration office, and in countless attics, basements, and closets for the initmate nuances of her ancestors` lives. The result is a vivid, sweeping family portriat that is att once particular and universal, telling the story not only of one family, but of the Chinese people in America - and of America itself, a country that both welcomes and reviles its immigrants like no other culture in the world.
