The Journal of Wong Ming-Chung: A Chinese Miner

222 pp. | Scholastic | April, 2000 | Trade ISBN 0-590-38607-7 $$10.95
(3) 4-6 My Name Is America series. Just the right blend of fear, sorrow, discontent, and determination permeates twelve-year-old Runt's reflections on his perilous voyage to "the Gold Mountain," the backbreaking work in the mining camps, and the anti-Chinese sentiment of American claim-stakers. Ample historical and cultural details more than make up for the anticlimactic epilogue. A historical note and contemporary photos and drawings are appended.
Reviewer: Tanya D. Auger
