In the 1800s, when California was captivated by gold fever, a small group of Chinese immigrants recognized the fortune to be made from the untapped resources along the Pacific coast, particularly from harvesting the black abalone. Todd Braje explores the history of Chinese abalone fishing, presenting a microcosm of the broader history of Chinese immigrants in America.
