A look at Quincy's
Chinese cemetery, and
those residing, there
Calin Turcotte
Special to Feather Publishing
In 1849 the discovery of
Gold in California caused a :
• sensation that drew many
Americans to the West Coast .......
with the hope of striking it
rich. This discovery also
drew many immigrants to
this foreign land with the
same dream :in mind. A large
majority of these newcomers
were from China.
China had suffered a series
of blows to its economy from
the 1830s onward. War, high
taxes and rebellions left little
stability in the homeland.
Thus, many Chinese peasants
with little or no education left
their families with the aspira-
tion offinding enough gold to
support their loved ones back
home.
The rate for an average
Southern Chinese laborer
was $3 a month, but working
on the California railroad
would pay $30 a month,
which could purchase a fine
piece of land back in China.
These hopeful men were
able to arrange passage to
America by dealing with emi-
gration brokers, or working
as laborers for free under a
credit ticket system.
The Chinese were original-
ly welcome additions to the
future state of California,
though this was mostly due to
the lower wages and longer
hours the Chinese worked in
comparison to other employ-
ees. But soon tides changed
and created an anti-Chinese
environment. By May 1852,
See Cemetery, page 15B

the Chinese cemetery. Kohler has provided fencing, replace-
ment headstones and even post-vandalism reburial at the
cemetery. Photo courtesy Plumas County Museum
