About the Book

Spanning more than 1,300 years and over forty-one generations, Toishan bookmarks at key points in time the contributions of the Chinese men and women who built the American railroads.Launching a delicate 5th Century junk from Toi Shan Province in CE 499, the Most High Buddhist Priest Hoei-shin Ti initiates an incredible journey up the west coast of Japan, north past the Korean peninsula, along the Aleutian Islands, southeast toward Alaska, down the west coast of North America, to what is present day California.In 1865, some 1,366 years later, his descendants and those of Sir Quentin Gnarr Roberts, an Irish immigrant, are conjoined in the most eloquent material work of both races-the construction of the American Transcontinental Railroad System.In six spellbinding works, the author chronicles the return of the Chinese to California, and the arrival of the Irish, in an imaginative but highly believable alternate history of the discovery and the ultimate assimilation of the American West.
About the Author: John E. Cashwell, Sr. is the author of the highly acclaimed six-book epic poem "Toishan," and a most recent collection of 40 poems, "Where Purple Shadows Fall." Set in the future, 2020-2022, his new novels "The Justice Compulsion" and its sequel "Sail On Silver Girl" explore the catastrophic consequences of the current growing divisiveness in the American sociopolitical experiment followed on by the evils of the emergence of the "Socialist International Society" within a New World Order. A third novel in the series, "With Honor and Distinction," is currently underway. John has over forty years advertising, marketing and copy writing experience, most notably responsible for helping to launch the Panasonic brand to consumers in North America. A former US Marine, a graduated of Duke University, and a former Executive Vice president with Grey Advertising, John lives on Long Island where he enjoys writing, fitness training and golf with his wife of fifty years, Ann M. Cashwell.
