华工跟随北太平洋铁路
||
1869年太平洋铁路竣工后，1881年北太平洋铁路开始从华盛顿州的西雅图塔克马向东穿过蒙塔纳州，南达科他和明尼苏达州连接五大湖通过运河通向纽约等美国东部地区。
由于华工建立太平洋铁路立下的赫赫战功，北太平洋铁路雇佣了大批华工。四千铁路工人中至少两千六百为华工。
While Henry Villard's work crews of 4,000 men made their way across Montana, over 2,600 of them were Chinese. The Northern Pacific, like many of the railroads of the West, was the result of a labor force comprised largely of Chinese immigrants. Despite their formidable contributions to the "settling" of the West, Chinese immigrants were met with prejudice, exclusion, and discrimination.
'the coming man from Canton' 记载了北太平洋铁路华工在蒙塔纳州留下的生活足迹。蒙塔纳州至今还有一条路叫：CHINATOWN Way。
西雅图早就有华工从事渔业矿业服务也工农业。
但是SPOKEN内地城市凡是铁路经过之处肯定也有华工足迹。
南达科他历史记录也承认华工随北太平洋铁路在该州工作过。
Ten Japanese Railroad Workers Killed in Williston
September 1902
Ten Japanese railroad workers were killed west of here when their work car was stuck by a freight train. They have been laid to rest in the local cemetery. The laying of tracks has brought several immigrant groups, not large in numbers, to North Dakota: Chinese, Italians, Greeks, Armenians, and Japanese. The few who have stayed as permanent residents usually live in the towns.
