Book Description
This study examines the Wakamatsu Tea and Silk Colony Farm, founded in California by refugees of the 1868 Boshin War as the first Japanese settlement in the United States. The author analyzes how the farm played a critical role in expanding agriculture in the state and how it paved the way for tens of thousands of Japanese immigrants.
