5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Story of Pioneer Steamship Line,
This review is from: Gold, Silk, Pioneers & Mail: The Story of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company (Perfect Paperback)
Moi Chung, my paternal grandfather, arrived in America aboard S.S. Mongolia, a Pacific Mail steamer from China, as so many others did in the 19th and early 20th centuries. He had arrived on June 17, 1912 at the Port of San Francisco from the Port of Hong Kong to study as a missionary.
"Gold, Silk, Pioneers & Mail" gave me a fascinating and rewarding glimpse into the era of great steamers in the Pacific trade and immigration. I read interesting letters from immigrant passengers describing their journeys. I saw illustrations of rare and unpublished images of some of the steamers that brought them, including my grandfather, to these shores. If you are a steamer buff of that era, you will truly appreciate and enjoy "Gold, Silk, Pioneers & Mail." |
