*Author’s note: Lue Gim Gong, the Citrus Wizard, was one of seventy-five Chinese young men who came from San Francisco to North Adams, Massachusetts, to break a strike in the shoe factory in 1870 and one of the few who remained there. Lue Gim Gong learned English and traveled with a well-known local family to Florida. “Everything that rises must converge” is a phrase from the writings of French philosopher, anthropologist, and Jesuit priest Pierre Teilhard de Chardin—who also coined the phrase “Point Omega” to describe a maximum level of complexity and consciousness toward which the universe appears to be evolving. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and Walter Grange from Middletown Springs, Vermont, were among the many discoverers of the bones of Peking Man, who was discovered in a series of expeditions from 1921 to 1939 in the area called Dragon Bone Hill near Beijing. Between 1924 and 1936, de Chardin and Granger exchanged at least seventeen letters that discuss among other things the difficulty of sending specimens from China to the United States. The bones of Peking Man were en route from China to the United States when Pearl Harbor was bombed. They vanished and have never been found.
