🎁Happy holidays. We are proud to announce that preorders are now open for our upcoming book, Images of America: Chinese in Tehama County, published as part of Arcadia Publishing’s Images of America series.
This long-anticipated book brings together rare photographs, family archives, and community stories, from early pioneers to multigenerational legacies that continued until WWII, that document our communities enduring contributions in Chinatowns throughout Tehama County.
We extend our deepest thanks to all of the families who helped make this book possible by opening their personal archives and sharing their stories.
