Chasing Their Dreams: Chinese Settlement in the Northwest Region of British Columbia: recreates the hardships – harsh land and climate, deep-set racial prejudice (sometimes violent), little or no money, the Chinese early settlers faced in Northwestern British Columbia.

Panning for gold, making ties for the railroad, canning fish, running laundries and restaurants, these people survived despite their persecution. Relations with the northern tribes, including descriptions of voyages made by the Chinese as early as 458 AD make this book one of the thoroughly-researched histories of Chinese settlement in British Columbia.
