Sweet Cakes, Long Journey: The Chinatowns of Portland, Oregon [Paperback]
Around the turn of the twentieth century, and for decades thereafter, Oregon had the second largest Chinese population in the United States. Marie Rose Wong chronicles the history of Portland’s Chinatowns from their early beginnings in the 1850s until the repeal of the Chinese Exclusion Act in the 1940s, drawing on exhaustive primary material from the National Archives, including more than six thousand individual immigration files, census manuscripts, letters, and newspaper accounts.
