Today in History: September 2
On September 2 , 1885, a mob of white coal miners violently attacked their Chinese co-workers in Rock Springs, Wyoming. Twenty-eight Chinese were killed and fifteen wounded, some of whom later died. The homes of seventy-nine Chinese people were set ablaze and the bodies of many of the dead and wounded thrown into the flames. Hundreds of Chinese workers fled into the surrounding desert. Violence exploded after Chinese workers refused to participate in a strike for higher wages planned by Euro-American miners. A week later, federal troops escorted Chinese laborers back to the mines.

State of Wyoming - Narrative
Yellowstone National Park -The world's first and foremost nationalpark. Two contrasting elements have combined to produce this areaof natural wonders; a land born in the fires of thunderingvolcanoes and since sculptured by glacial ice and running water.The park features the world's most extensive area of geothermalactivity. Thousands of hot springs dot thermal basins; geysershurl thousands of gallons of boiling water into the air; hissingsteam vents punctuate valley floors; and petrified tree stumps,remnants of a primeval forest buried by volcanic ash, stand starklyon eroded mountain sides. This thermal theatre had its beginningin an enormous volcanic eruption thought to have occurred about600,000 years ago.
