Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grandpa's Memories of Main Street is set in the 1940's and 50's in the small town of Cornwall, New York, located along the Hudson River. Every town and village across America at that time had a Main Street that was economically vibrant and socially active. While each community was unique, there were common threads that ran through them all. In this story, a grandfather tells his grandchildren in a letter about his memories of those bygone days. He tells about experiences and adventures of everyday life for a child during that era. Grandparents reading this story to their grandchildren will be reminded of their own childhood. The grandchildren will gain an understanding of life along Main Street at that time from both the story and discussions afterwards with their grandparents. ABOUT THE AUTHOR J William Zoldak was born in the Highlands along the Hudson River in 1943. He spent his formative years roaming through the mountains, valleys, fields and forests surrounding the town of Cornwall, NY. After college he entered the field of Education, first as science teacher and then as a high school guidance counselor. After he retired he turned a hobby of building stone walls into an enjoyable business. Never losing the passion for the outdoors, which he enjoyed as a child, he started writing letters to his grandchildren so that they might appreciate rural and small-town life in the 1950s.

Book excerpt: Grandpa Stories is a collection of 29 short stories by a boy in Michigan during the Great Depression. Though times were rough & cash was hard to come by. I grew up on a farm, learning important lessons through hard chores, a one-room country school & a loving mother. I learned to kill chickens for our meals, chop & keep a stack of wood in the kitchen & bring the cows in from pasture. Death was ever near, as were severe winter storms & isolation. Through hired hands brought by my father, it opened up my mind to new experiences & possibilities. My father was ever seeking work in the city of Detroit while my mother ran the farm with the down-on-their-luck he brought home to help. This was a time of adventure for me & fun. We didn't have a horse to ride so I rode the pigs. This early life on a working farm prepared me for valuable experience when WWII took me abroad. This book began as a series of stories in the Transylvania Times newspaper of Brevard, North Carolina. The editor suggested that a book be made from the stories. Order directly from the publisher.

Book Synopsis Remembering Our Grandfathers’ Exile by : Gail Y. Okawa
Download or read book Remembering Our Grandfathers’ Exile written by Gail Y. Okawa and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2020-08-31 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When author Gail Okawa was in high school in Honolulu, a neighbor mentioned that her maternal grandfather had been imprisoned in a World War II concentration camp on the US mainland. Questioning her parents, she learned only that “he came back a changed man.” Years later, as an adult salvaging that grandfather’s memorabilia, she found a mysterious photo of a group of Japanese men standing in front of an adobe building, compelling her eventually to embark on a project to learn what happened to him. Remembering Our Grandfathers’ Exile is a composite chronicling of the Hawai‘i Japanese immigrant experience in mainland exile and internment during World War II, from pre-war climate to arrest to exile to return. Told through the eyes of a granddaughter and researcher born during the war, it is also a research narrative that reveals parallels between pre-WWII conditions and current twenty-first century anti-immigrant attitudes and heightened racism. The book introduces Okawa’s grandfather, Reverend Tamasaku Watanabe, a Protestant minister, and other Issei prisoners—all legal immigrants excluded by law from citizenship—in a collective biographical narrative that depicts their suffering, challenges, and survival as highly literate men faced with captivity in the little-known prison camps run by the U.S. Justice and War Departments. Okawa interweaves documents, personal and official, and internees’ firsthand accounts, letters, and poetry to create a narrative that not only conveys their experience but, equally important, exemplifies their literacy as ironic and deliberate acts of resistance to oppressive conditions. Her research revealed that the Hawai‘i Issei/immigrants who had sons in military service were eventually distinguished from the main group; the narrative relates visits of some of those sons to their imprisoned fathers in New Mexico and elsewhere, as well as the deaths of sons killed in action in Europe and the Pacific. Documents demonstrate the high degree of literacy and advocacy among the internees, as well as the inherent injustice of the government’s policies. Okawa’s project later expanded to include New Mexico residents having memories of the Santa Fe Internment Camp—witnesses who provide rare views of the wartime reality.
