Meet Joseph Pierce, One of the Only Chinese Americans Who Fought in Bloodiest Battle in US History

Joseph Pierce is a Civil War veteran who is believed to be the highest-ranking Chinese American soldier in the Union Army. One story told of how Pierce was sold by his father for $6 to feed his family and another of how his older brother sold him for "about $50-60 into foreign slavery to get rid of him." There was one that told of how Pierce was brought to the U.S. by his adoptive father, Capt. Amos Peck III, sometime in the 1850s, according to Pacific Citizen.

Chinese native worked for Lancaster newspapers, served in Union army [The Scribbler]

Hong Neok Woo, one of at least 10 Chinese men who served in the Union or Confederate armies during the American Civil War, worked as a pressman for a Lancaster newspaper before returning to Shanghai in 1864 and becoming a priest and medical assistant. The Scribbler is relating the unusual story of Wooâs life today because on Tuesday, Lancaster Countyâs commissioners are poised to proclaim May as the first-ever Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month in Lancaster County. Wooâs personal heritage began Aug. 7, 1834, in a small town near the city of Chang Chow. When Woo turned 13, his father sent him to the Shanghai Mission School, where he apparently did not distinguish himself.
