Description
"From the arrival of the first Japanese immigrants in Hawaii in 1868, they have contributed most substantially to the building of our society in every phase of human endeavor and on every level.
The history of the Japanese in Hawaii includes many events and stories not included in the political history of Hawaii but which have a very profound bearing on the progress and growth of our society.
In a time when we of Hawaii seek most earnestly to know our origins and to teach our children of the achievements of their ancestors, this book should offer us most valuable source material"--From Message from Governor John A. Burns.
