I'm reading Poker Bride:The first Chinese in the west by Christopher Corbett,. Very interesting story about the immigration of Chinese in the 1800's and the central story is around a Chinese bride that went into the mountains in the late 1800's as a bride won in a poker game. She didn't come back down the mountain until after her husband died, sometime in the early 1910's... I started it before we went on vacation last week, and need to get back to it. Imagine, coming into a world where everything you know has changed, and the world has moved on without you....
