This isn't a western adventure as you will read.
The family Oberllyn headed and lead by Eliijah Oberllyn and his wife Elizabeth, a Native American are the proud parents of four sons. One is a medical man and another son is a lawyer. From all of our western adventures ya couldn't ask for more.
This is a fair family of Seventh Day Adventist, when you get a chance I hope everyone will read about this family. They are abolitionists, they believe in equality for all. Hard days work for honest pay, fairness that's all anyone really want which includes the pursuit of happiness.
These are state wide laws against people of color, ethnicities. Regarding fair treatment surely didn't appear to exist in the states or territories..bad bad news, scary. The lawmakers wanted their cake anyway they could get it. Considering the following, Blacks weren't considered humans by States government, they were considered 3/5th
human and therefore couldn't own land, in fact there were slavers who on patrol that would capture these poor Blacks, with the assumption they were ''run aways " and their owners had put bounties on their heads. Whites didn't want to work with Chinese and that included living around them. Beatings inhumane treatment that's what I read throughout this book.
The Oberllyn Clan, wasn't like the rest of the population, they started their own family settlement. The Blacks had their own property, Ling whose Chinese was also given property.
Eliijah Oberllyn did not hold these grudges. The
families all had homes/cabins. It isn't described as a " plantation mentality, " but a place to live and a say in what's going on. I usually don't read about slavery in the United States, because it's sad, sad it's enough to make me stomach sick, teary to read how one ethnic group was so so mean on purpose to other groups of human beings. Sadly their were laws to back up these prejudices.
Eliijah Oberllyn worked for the United States Government as a U.S.Marshal, and he worked for Alan Pinkerton doing undercover work and this included his sons and Ling who accompanied him
on the missions that the U.S. Government sent him on, because of strange happening in California, San Francisco.
You will enjoy this book it has action, spies, conspiracies to take over San Francisco and turn it into a "New China" this is a hot mess all the way around. Strange bank robberies which were happening to cause bank failures in San Francisco.
Like I said, you'll enjoy reading about the Oberllyn
Clan.
