Book excerpt: The story begins in 1790 with twenty-four Chinese railway workers and their families working on wooden rails in Germany. Follow them to the steel rails in Boston and then west to Ohio, where they become Indians; onto Indiana where, with the help of two white men, they develop one of the richest communities in southern Indiana by the mid 1800s. Find out how they influenced two modern American teenagers with special powers, even though the Indians had been dead for years. But most importantly, learn how the tribe and their lands came to be called Pissthisaway.
