Lynching of an Unnamed Chinese Man

Narrative

This entry records a lynching of an unnamed Chinese man somewhere in California in 1885. No linked newspaper report has yet been located, and the surviving source does not preserve a precise place, month, or narrative beyond an association with murder. For now, the case remains in the archive as a possible lynching pending further evidence.

The incident is recorded in Ken Gonzales-Day’s *Lynching in the West: 1850–1935 (2006) and the Monroe & Florence Work Today inventory (see https://monroeworktoday.org/).
