Description
Tie Sing was born in America and grew up speaking both English and Chinese. He takes a job as a trail cook for men who were mapping the west. He becomes well known as more important people from the east come to see what would become Yosemite National Park. Tie Sing proves resourceful beyond measure, in spite of the mules’ mishaps! The watercolor illustrations are lovely. What a great add to a unit about California history, western expansion, our National Parks, or the Chinese experience in America! ~Sara
Publisher's Description of Mountain Chef
The true story of a Chinese American mountain man who fed thirty people for ten days in the wilderness–and helped inspire the creation of the National Park Service.
Tie Sing was born in the mountains. The mountains were in his blood. But because he was of Chinese descent at a time in America when to be Chinese meant working in restaurants or laundries, Tie Sing’s prospects were limited. But he had bigger plans. He began cooking for mapmakers and soon built a reputation as the best trail cook in California.
