Abstract
Building on previous historical research, Chuimei Ho and Bennet Bronson document the career of Moy Back Hin, an honorary Chinese consul and successful merchant in Portland, Oregon. Using Chinese-language texts and collections at the Oregon Historical Society — including Moy Back Hin's official garments of the Qing Dynasty — Ho and Bronson further document Moy's diplomatic connections to the Chinese imperial government. “From obscurity as a young servant,” the authors attest, “to fame as a businessman, leader and diplomat, Moy…lived an extraordinary life among Chinese Americans.”
