Dragon's Gate by Laurence Yep

4.0

This got off to a slow start for me, but it ended strong. So much historical context here; the book focuses on the Chinese immigrants working on the transcontinental railroad, blasting tunnels through the Sierra Nevadas, but shows the connections between the Manchu rule in China, the Opium Wars, and the Gold Rush. Beautifully written.
