The Hood River Issei tells the story of the Japanese who immigrated between the late 1800s and the 1920s, settling in Oregon's rural Hood River Valley. In 1985 Linda Tamura began interviewing Issei (first-generation Japanese), the youngest of whom were eighty-two. This compelling story captures their recollections of early life in Japan, immigration to and settlement in the United States, and the hardships they experienced during World War II.
"Without publication of this excellent work, a unique and significant dimension of the Japanese experience in the United States would have been forever lost."--Gordon B. Dodds, Portland State University
Linda Tamura is a professor and chair of the Department of Education at Pacific University, Forest Grove, Oregon. She is a native of Hood River and a third-generation Japanese American.
