Nice video! Good to know this part of the history of Yosemite. The Chinese have contributed to many other parts of the US also! They are hard working people and should be well respected for their roles.

Thank you for the history of the contributions of the Chinese immigrants (at Yosemite and the Trans-Continental Railroad"). How utterly sad of the "Chinese Exclusion Act" being enacted, after taking advantage of the Chinese immigrants.
