Welcome to Season 3,
Episode 46. Do you think you know the story of the Chinese during
the California Gold Rush? Even if you think you do, we guarantee
that there are some stories and pieces of the history that are
lesser known. So today we talk about that era in a little more
depth. Other than sharing the origin of the California Gold Rush,
we talk about the timeline of Gold Rush events, the arrival of the
Chinese, their mining practices, the discrimination they faced, and
how they achieved some modicum of success. The arrival of Chinese
during the Gold Rush helped develop the land and physical and
service infrastructure in California. We begin the episode with
some current events and celebrate Corbin Carroll, Brandon Sakbun,
and Nina Ahmad. For previous episodes and information, please visit
