Workers building the Transcontinental Railroad in places far from towns and cities lived in camps when they were not working. On average, these laborers (typically Irish and Chinese immigrants) worked 12 hours per day, 6 days per week. In the camps, workers ate, drank, gathered around the campfire, gambled, and smoked opium. It was a difficult life and a dangerous one. Winters were harsh, and a particularly bad snow storm could lead to the deaths of an entire camp full of laborers -- only to be found when the snow melted in the spring.

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Chinese laborers were often scapegoated during economic downturns, as they were perceived to be taking jobs from white workers for lower wages. This hostility was fueled by deep-seated racism and xenophobia, leading to violent confrontations in various regions, particularly in the western United States. Such attacks reflected broader societal tensions and discriminatory attitudes towards Asian immigrants.
