Abstract: Japanese immigrants to the United States established a small community in the village of Thomas, Washington and in the surrounding White River Valley. The author profiles a number of the Japanese-Americans, their experiences with discrimination upon their arrival in the 1890s, their efforts to adapt to their new home, and their eventual internment in detention camps during World War II.
