Download or read book The Chinese Massacre at Rock Springs Wyoming Territory September 2 1885 written by Isaac H. Bromley and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-05-23 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The events of one terrible day in September of 1885 in a Union Pacific Coal Company camp called Rock Springs continue to fascinate and appall. Set off in a dispute at one of the mines by white miners over an area assigned to Chinese, what came to be known as the Chinese Massacre haunts southwest Wyoming to this day. When threats against unarmed Chinese led to an outbreak of violent lawlessness, the houses of Chinatown were burnt to ashes and its residents gunned down or chased at gunpoint into the desert. Following the riot, company officials, the local sheriff, and even Wyoming's territorial governor and U.S. President Grover Cleveland ultimately proved unable to punish even one person for the murders, thefts, and property destruction of September 2, 1885. What mainly disappeared from the record were the everyday lives of the Chinese, mostly single men who hoped to return to China one day, who toiled to bring the carbon out of the ground. In this reprint of an 1886 account of the official inquiries, eyewitness statements, and contemporary newspaper accounts of informative or inflammatory nature, the Sweetwater County Historical Museum adds both familiar and never-before-published photos and documents to augment an already riveting historical record.

Download or read book The Mountain Meadows Massacre written by Juanita Brooks and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2012-09-06 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Fall of 1857, some 120 California-bound emigrants were killed in lonely Mountain Meadows in southern Utah; only eighteen young children were spared. The men on the ground after the bloody deed took an oath that they would never mention the event again, either in public or in private. The leaders of the Mormon church also counseled silence. The first report, soon after the massacre, described it as an Indian onslaught at which a few white men were present, only one of whom, John D. Lee, was actually named. With admirable scholarship, Mrs. Brooks has traced the background of conflict, analyzed the emotional climate at the time, pointed up the social and military organization in Utah, and revealed the forces which culminated in the great tragedy at Mountain Meadows. The result is a near-classic treatment which neither smears nor clears the participants as individuals. It portrays an atmosphere of war hysteria, whipped up by recitals of past persecutions and the vision of an approaching "army" coming to drive the Mormons from their homes.

Book excerpt: From the bestselling author of Flags of our Fathers, Flyboys, and The Imperial Cruise, a spellbinding history of turbulent U.S.-China relations from the 19th century to World War II and Mao's ascent. In each of his books, James Bradley has exposed the hidden truths behind America's engagement in Asia. Now comes his most engrossing work yet. Beginning in the 1850s, Bradley introduces us to the prominent Americans who made their fortunes in the China opium trade. As they -- -good Christians all -- -profitably addicted millions, American missionaries arrived, promising salvation for those who adopted Western ways. And that was just the beginning. From drug dealer Warren Delano to his grandson Franklin Delano Roosevelt, from the port of Hong Kong to the towers of Princeton University, from the era of Appomattox to the age of the A-Bomb, The China Mirage explores a difficult century that defines U.S.-Chinese relations to this day.
Download or read book Hoosiers and the American Story written by Madison, James H. and published by Indiana Historical Society. This book was released on 2014-10 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A supplemental textbook for middle and high school students, Hoosiers and the American Story provides intimate views of individuals and places in Indiana set within themes from American history. During the frontier days when Americans battled with and exiled native peoples from the East, Indiana was on the leading edge of America’s westward expansion. As waves of immigrants swept across the Appalachians and eastern waterways, Indiana became established as both a crossroads and as a vital part of Middle America. Indiana’s stories illuminate the history of American agriculture, wars, industrialization, ethnic conflicts, technological improvements, political battles, transportation networks, economic shifts, social welfare initiatives, and more. In so doing, they elucidate large national issues so that students can relate personally to the ideas and events that comprise American history. At the same time, the stories shed light on what it means to be a Hoosier, today and in the past.
