ABSTRACT
The common theme among all Western shows over the past hundred years has been an emphasis on White history and an under representation of minority and immigrant experiences. The keen-eyed critic is no longer concerned with wrong costumes and ridiculous sets; instead, archaeologists now recognize an overemphasis and biased focus on the stories of the privileged social majority nineteenth-century boomtowns supported a global community of working-class. Americans and immigrants who toiled in the mines and in the service industry People representing almost every country in the world set foot in these towns to improve their lives and secure the future of their children. In the early years of these boomtowns, Chinese were not initially marginalized into separate neighbourhoods, however, eventual discrimination and zoning ordinances forced them into undesirable real estate. The people living in boomtowns also looked rich. Those who observed Virginia City in its glory noticed all men, rich or poor, dressed in similar fashions.
