From the murder of 31 Chinese miners at Deep Creek in 1887 to sundown laws that remained on the books in the 1960s. This work was commissioned for The Manner of the Country: Living and Writing the American West, edited by Russell Rowland and Lynn Stegner, which will be published in the fall of 2011.
