"The Chinese Boy" a Book by Kevin Knauss

An introduction to "The Chinese Boy, An Orphan Child Raised in a California Gold Rush Town," is my first work of historical fiction. I have written other books of history. It was the research and study for those other history books that laid the foundation for the "The Chinese Boy." While the characters are fictional, many of the events and circumstances are rooted in the history of California in the 1860s and 1870s.
