Birthday
On December 1 1860 in Bejing, China, I Jimmy Chong was born. I grew up with only my mother because my father had died out at sea. I lived in poverty for almost 80 percent of my life. Until one day my mother had had it and we left for america. -
America
This is the day me and my mother left for America. We left when I was only 10 years old. On that 3 week long journey I was excited, but also scarred. Finally we docked off the coast of San Fransico at Angel Island. We then took a ferry over into San Fransico. This new land would be a new begining for me and my mother.Or so I thought. -
My new life
At the age of 17 I had become a something worse than I would have ever been in China. I was an assassin. I chose this route because when I was only 14 me and my mother were mugged and she was killed. I felt so angry I decied to use my anger in a way I could make money. -
James A. Garfield
On this day me and a man named Charles .J Guiteau were planning to kill the new president. We would do it on the train he was traveling on. As we got on the train Charles kept saying "stay calm". Once the train started moving we srung up. We made our way into the 1st class and then boom he was shot. -
Capture
As I was traveling on train I was finally caught for my crime. It took the police 9 years to finally find one of the men involved in the assassination of President Garfield. Two weeks later I was found guilty and was exicuted. -
Funeral
The day of my funeral only a couple of people were there. That is because I had no one. For a little over 10 years I had no mother and no family. Worst of all the only friends I had were in China. Where I was actually burried they put no headstone. The place I was burried was a field in Virginia.
