      About This Book

      July 18

      ...the American miners blamed us for everything that had gone wrong in their lives —from lower wages to rain and warts. A month before I came, in other districts, the Americans threw the Chinese out. And some of the American miners here want to do the same thing.

      Uncle says that this is proof that gold is a curse. It twists people's minds and makes them act like beasts.

      I am beginning to think Uncle is right.

      I feel like shivering, but not from the cold.

      America is so lovely— and yet so frightening.
