Guides for Readers
Deep Creek is a historical novel inspired by actual events and people:
• the 1887 massacre of Chinese miners in remote, wild Hells Canyon
• the middle-aged judge who went after their slayers
• and the sham race-murder trial that followed,
• thanks to the opposition and indifference of area citizens.
This American tragedy was long suppressed and its victims of genocide nearly forgotten; Deep Creek teams fact and imagination to illuminate how and why.
