The Poker Bride: The First Chinese in the Wild West
Although this book had a lot of great historical facts about the Chinese in America during the 1800's and beginning of the 1900's, I wanted to read more about Poly Bemus, the poker bride. It talks of the sad plight of the Chinese in America who were often treated worse than slaves, but had the fortitude to persevere and make something of there lives in the hostile environment of the wild west. I would have given this more stars had it been portrayed as a historical piece rather than the story of Poly. Poly took up about 15% of the pages. Poly was and is a heroine in her own right, a romantic figure that found a good life despite the unimaginable odds against her.
