Meet the author: Chinese in Mendocino

Mendocino County is known as a scenic destination. Less well known are the diverse cultural groups who were responsible for building the county of Mendocino.  Lorraine Hee-Chorley’s family lived the history of the Chinese in the area. Her great-grandfather, Lee Sing John, was the founder of the Taoist Kwan Tai Temple in the village of Mendocino in 1854. She researched and wrote Chinese in Mendocino County as a memorial to the several hundreds of Chinese that used to populate the area.
