Dreams of the West ~ Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association

Jointly created by the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association, history students at Portland State University, and the student staff of Ooligan Press, this bilingual (English/Chinese) history fills a long neglected gap in the immigrant history of the West Coast. This is the little–known history of the state's Chinese immigrants who, by the 1850s, began sailing east from southern China and landed here, where they struggled to make a new home.
