Actually the Chinese who labored on the RR were mostly here before the Forty-Niners. They got here before word got back east. The prospectors came overland. across the Central American ithmus or around the Cape of Good Hope the long way. Ships had word in China long before our people in the midwest and fareastern cities were even aware of it.

well, the colonisation was over for that time, but they still built big towns in those colonisation points and mostly lived there:dry:

I live in THE WEST. BTW, I am a next door neighbor to Death Valley, CA in the Mojave Desert. There are actually several living and fully "dead" ghost towns within an hour drive of my house.

It is most likely after 1848 (the discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill) and 1868 (the connecting of the UP and CP at Promontory Point , UT) with the large number of RR stations to be built

Take that, Van Heflin!
Check the DVD extras on "3:10 to Yuma," there's an interesting one where they explain how none of the top five or six things people think of when they think of the West actually existed at the same time. :bandit:
