About the Book

the hood river Issei

From Library Journal ......the surviving Issei who settled in the rural Hood River Valley in Oregon tell their stories in interviews conducted by Tamura, an academic and a Sansei (third-generation) native of Hood River. In their own words, the immigrants explain how and why they came to America, their dreams, and their often harsh new life, mostly as farmers and orchardists.  --Katherine L.
