"Gripping . . . Chang has accomplished the seemingly impossible . . . He has written a remarkably rich, human, and compelling story of the railroad Chinese." -- Peter Cozzens, Wall Street Journal WINNER OF THE ASIAN/PACIFIC AMERICAN AWARD FOR LITERATUREWINNER OF THE CHINESE AMERICAN LIBRARIANS ASSOCIATION BEST BOOK AWARD A groundbreaking, breathtaking history of the Chinese workers who built the Transcontinental Railroad, helping to forge modern America only to disappear into the shadows of history until now From across the sea, they came by the thousands, escaping war and poverty in southern China to seek their fortunes in America. Converging on the enormous western worksite of the Transcontinental Railroad, the migrants spent years dynamiting tunnels through the snow-packed cliffs of the Sierra Nevada and laying tracks across the burning Utah desert. Their sweat and blood fueled the ascent of an interlinked, industrial United States. But those of them who survived this perilous effort would suffer a different kind of death: a historical one, as they were pushed first to the margins of American life and then to the fringes of public memory. In this groundbreaking account, award-winning scholar Gordon H. Chang draws on unprecedented research to recover the Chinese railroad workers' stories and celebrate their role in remaking America. An invaluable correction of a great historical injustice, The Ghosts of Gold Mountain returns these "silent spikes" to their rightful place in our national saga. "The lived experience of the Railroad Chinese has long been elusive . . . Chang's book is a moving effort to recover their stories and honor their indispensable contribution to the building of modern America." -- New York Times

Great Paper Towel Holder! Sturdy and Stylish
Color: Black
I’ve been using this paper towel holder for about 6 months now, and I’m very happy with it! The design is sleek and modern, making it a perfect fit for my kitchen. It’s made from durable steel, and I love that the finish still looks brand new after months of use. The best part is how easy it is to replace rolls. I can quickly swap out old rolls without any hassle.
The weighted base and non-slip pad are fantastic features – I’ve accidentally bumped it a few times, and it hasn’t tipped over once. It stays securely in place, which is a huge plus. I also appreciate that it’s versatile enough to fit all paper towel sizes.
Overall, this is a high-quality and functional product that’s also aesthetically pleasing. Highly recommend it if you’re looking for a sturdy, easy-to-use paper towel holder!

Perfect!
Color: Warm Gold, Color: Warm Gold
Been using this thing for over a year now and it is fantastic. The color is beautiful and as described. The price was a very good price point. The size is everything you need it to be because it’s nice and sturdy; it holds a big Costco size roll. And the roll actually fits over the top. You don’t have to unscrew it. In love.

Stylish and sturdy paper towel holder
Color: Gold Polished
This gold paper towel holder looks great on my counter and works perfectly. The base is nice and heavy keeping it sturdy, which keeps it from sliding or tipping when I pull off a paper towel. I’ve had no issues with the roll coming loose or falling off, even when grabbing sheets quickly. It’s both functional and elegant. Gives you good value for the money. Definitely worth it if you want something that looks good and stays in place.
