Asian American Studies Editorial Review
On Gold Mountain is a compelling and insightful book that sheds light on the lives of Chinese immigrants who arrived in America during the Gold Rush and later worked on railroads. The book follows the journey of Fong See's family from China to the United States from 1875 to 1975, offering a historical and biographical study that provides a glimpse into the mindset of a Chinese individual. It provides an excellent understanding of the challenges the Chinese faced in America and their relationship with the US government and administrators. The book is well-written and inspiring, and it provokes thought on the prejudice that still plagues society today.
