A colony of Chinese people lived in the Old West?s rough-and-tough town of Tombstone, Arizona, from 1879 to about 1940. They mostly grouped in an area known as Chinatown that covered Toughnut to Fremont and First to Third streets. This book contains historical information by year of Tombstone?s Chinese population. Most of the information is from online newspapers and census data. Some Chinese owned restaurants and laundries, while others were cooks or laborers. Few Chinese women lived in Tombstone?some were prostitutes, and some were wives and store owners. The most famous one was China Mary. At first the Chinese were accepted, but their religious beliefs, customs, and opium dens kept them isolated and feared by other residents. The nearby town of Bisbee did not allow any Chinese to stay there after sundown. Soon, Tombstone wanted the Chinese to leave and followed the San Francisco Anti-Chinese movement headed by Denis Kearney. Later, the federal government passed laws limiting immigration, deporting illegals, and requiring residence certificates for others. Reading the accounts in this book will give a picture of how the Chinese lived in Tombstone and what they endured. As the years passed, only a few remained in Tombstone and in the nearby Cochise County towns of Pearce, Benson, Willcox, and Naco.
