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.
