Chinese American Experience (1)

In 1887,a ranger of looking for his stray cattle on the Snake River between IDAHO and Oregon, came upon a gruesome scene.

the remains of human beings washed up the creek. They were so picked over by buzzards and coyotes that neither their features nor their race could be identified.

some of the bodies were found, one was found head less
others were found with axe wounds
just horrible horrible crimes were committed there
and the savagery of the crime would indicate that was more than just a robbery.
years later, the true story came out.
A gang of white men, ranchers and school boys
had setup on ten Chinese miners
shot and beat them to death then dump their mutilated bodies into the river
more Chinese arrived at the camp the next day and were properly murdered.
the killers then traveled down river by boat to another camp，
by night fall, thirty one Chinese were dead

The leader of this group Bruce Evans was said he told others of the gang lets do our country a favor and get rid of these China men lets do a favor for ourselves and get their gold.

Local residents rallied around the suspects.

Only three were tried and the jury freed them all.

The Snake River massacre was not an isolated incident.

In 1882, the US passed the exclusion act to stop Chinese labor from entering the country and deprive those here of citizenship.

That law ushered in the most violent decade in Chinese-American history.

The spread of anti-Chinese feeling moved like a disease going through the white population.

They became the scapegoats.

They became sort of solution if we can just get rid of them our fortune would be better.

The Chinese were foreign, did not belong here at all.

This old idea was given new life by the law.

In Tacoma, Washington, 600 Chinese were expelled and their houses burned to the ground.

The Chinese in Juno, Alaska, were loaded onto boat and set to drift.

In Rock Spring, Wyoming, 28 were killed, the rest driven out.（感谢青山流水的校对）
