Years and years ago in the late 1800s. When there was an exodus from California and Mexico. Some of the Chinese start coming into this area to get away from prejudices. Three of the Chinese who first came here were the Wong from the Wong clan. And they started a restaurant here and prospered. I can tell you a little story about this Wong family who had this restaurant they opened across the street from our depot here at train depot on to and real tough ombre came by and ate a meal which was 75 cents worth. And he got up and pointed his pistol at his at Mr. Wong's cue and said Do you know who I am? I'm shoot him down Pete. And Mr. Wong turned around with two pistols in his hand and said you know who I am I'm shoot him down down Sam. Through 75 cents down and salt out. But in those early days, the people who came to the territory were mostly Cantonese. First it was Assam yet, then the toy son plan came and they were mostly farmers from the south part of China. So they frequent that along the the banks of the irrigation ditch under the a mountain and to Amok area and the either leased, bought or squatted there and planted all the vegetables which were, of course, then sold to restaurants owned by the Chinese sold to the grocery stores owned by the Chinese. And some of them had little trucks or horse and buggies and sold their vegetables from house to house. At one time, we had over 100 grocery stores, small grocery stores here. And during the territorial days, the Chinese people would give credit, you know, to the ranchers, and the Indians and predominantly the extant people. And it was very odd, you know, they trusted these people. And they use the grocery stores as their banks. But certainly, they were here. They did a lot of work.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://arizona.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1978/collection_resources/74353/file/160213#t=184.0,362.999"},{"id":"https://arizona.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1978/collection_resources/74353/file/160213/transcript/38294/annotation/4","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"UNKNOWN SPEAKER: Esther, the Chinese who came in territorial days, worked very hard.

I think that the Chinese people of all the minority races were the most humiliated the most persecuted because when they came to Arizona, Prescott was really a hotbed against the Chinese Clift in Arizona. In fact, in Prescott, they had nightly meetings as to how to get rid of the Chinese one Irishman said, I will give $1,000 If we can ship 100 of these Chinaman back to Boston. But of course, they didn't come from Boston. The Chinese brought many techniques in mining to our country to Arizona. When the rivers were running swiftly, and they couldn't pan the gold out, they taught the people how to use the waterwheel to displace the water. When they were laying down the railroads. They certainly had the technique as to how to span it across the Sierra mountains. Many of the railroad workers were killed, because they didn't know how to get down to the cliffs and place the dynamite so the Chinese people would say, Let us help you. And they would weave great big baskets out of Reed and bamboo, and were hoisted down to the level where the dynamite would be placed. Then as they lift the dynamite, they swung the baskets to the side so they wouldn't get killed. But as you know, they even had a contest between the Irishman and the Chinese to build the railroad and see who could get to the destination first.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://arizona.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1978/collection_resources/74353/file/160213#t=380.0,488.999"},{"id":"https://arizona.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1978/collection_resources/74353/file/160213/transcript/38294/annotation/6","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"UNKNOWN SPEAKER: So now we've had a small setting of history and just barely noticed the great contribution of the Chinese and territorial days.
