This book is the first full portrait of a single assembly center--located at the Western Washington fairgrounds at Puyallup, outside Seattle--that held Japanese Americans for four months prior to their transfer to a relocation center during World War II. Gathering archival evidence and eyewitness accounts, Louis Fiset reconstructs the events leading up to the incarceration as they unfolded on a local level: arrests of Issei leaders, Nikkei response to the war dynamics, debates within the white community, and the forced evacuation of the Nikkei community from Bainbridge Island. The book explores the daily lives of the more than seven thousand inmates at "Camp Harmony," detailing how they worked, played, ate, and occasionally fought with each other and with their captors. Fiset also examines the inmates' community life, health care, and religious activities. He includes details on how army surveyors selected the center's site, oversaw its construction, and managed the transfer of inmates to the more permanent Minidoka Relocation Center in Idaho.
Описание: Following December 7, 1941, when the United States government interned 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry evicted from scattered settlements throughout the West Coast states, why was a much larger number concentrated in the Hawaiian Islands war zone not similarly incarcerated?

Описание: Following December 7, 1941, when the United States government interned 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry evicted from scattered settlements throughout the West Coast states, why was a much larger number concentrated in the Hawaiian Islands war zone not similarly incarcerated? At the root of the story is an inclusive community that worked from the ground up to protect an embattled segment of its population. Where the onset of World War II surprised the American public, war with Japan arrived in Hawai'i in slow motion. Responding to numerous signs of impending conflict, a Council for Interracial Unity mapped two goals: Minimize internment and maximize inclusion in the war effort. The Council's aspirational work was expressed in a widely repeated saying: ""How we get along during the war will determine how we get along when the war is over."" The Army Command of Hawai'i, reassured by first-hand acquaintances, came to believe ""Trust breeds trust."" Where most histories have shielded President Franklin D. Roosevelt from direct responsibility for the U.S. mainland internment, his relentless demands for a mass removal from Hawai'i-ultimately thwarted-reveal him as author and actor. In making sense of the disparity between Island and mainland, Inclusion unravels the deep history of the U.S. ""sabotage psychosis,"" dissecting why many continental Americans still believe Japan succeeded at Pearl Harbor because of the unseen hand of Japanese saboteurs. Contrary to the explanation of hysteria as the cause of the internment, Inclusion documents how a high-level plan of mass removal actually was pitched to Hawai'i prior to December 7, only to be rejected.
Описание: To my Heavenly Father who is the creator of all the hosts of Heaven and Earth and everything therein. You own everything therein because you created them and you can give or take away all things in Heaven and on Earth. There is nothing that mankind has that you did not give us because we could not create anything from our power unless you give us this power. O God, I love you more than anyone in Heaven and anyone on Earth. You are the father of all in Heaven and Earth, and you are my father. You have saved me from certain death several times in my lifetime when I came to you in my prayers, even my silent prayers. I know and do testify to
One of only twenty-nine Major Leaguers to play in four different decades, Jerry Reuss pitched for eight teams, including the Pittsburgh Pirates twice. So when Reuss tells his story, he covers about as much of baseball life as any player can.
Bring In the Right-Hander! puts us on the mound for the winning pitch in game 5 of the 1981 World Series, then takes us back to the schoolyards and ball fields of Overland, Missouri, where Reuss first dreamed of that scene. His baseball odyssey, dedicated to the mantra “work hard and play harder,” began in 1969 with his hometown team, the Saint Louis Cardinals (who traded him three years later for mustache-related reasons). Reuss carries us through his winning seasons with the Dodgers, taking in a no-hitter and that World Series triumph, and introducing us to some of baseball’s most colorful characters. Along the way, as the grizzled veteran faces injuries, releases, and trips to the Minors, then battling his way back into the Majors to finish his career with the Pirates, we get a glimpse of the real grit behind big-league life, on and off the field.
Описание: How good was Negro League Baseball (1920-1948)? Drawing on the most comprehensive data available, including stats from more than 2,000 interracial games, this study finds that black baseball was very good indeed.
"If I learned one thing in my travels, it’s that even when a ballpark is gone, sometimes someone puts up some kind of marker so folks will have something to look at to remember what’s gone. A plaque, a sign, a section of wall. This edition of The National Pastime is my marker." So writes editor Cecilia M. Tan in her introduction to the 2022 issue of The National Pastime, featuring 20 articles delving into the history of minor league baseball. In 2020, minor league baseball as we knew it changed drastically with the elimination of 42 teams and "restructuring."
But the minors have always been prone to upheaval and change. This issue of The National Pastime looks at the minors from the nineteenth century through the present and seems to show that the only thing that stays the same in the minor leagues, is that things are always changing. Dennis Snelling brings us the account of a team so short-lived, they not only didn’t play a full season, their team records were lost. We also have not one but two articles about Black ballplayers playing on White minor league teams—something that couldn’t happen in the American or National Leagues at the time—with Alan D. Cohen’s account of Billy Holland in Connecticut in 1906, and Thomas Merrick’s article about a 1932 team that included Wilbur “Bullet” Rogan and other players in Jamestown, North Dakota.
Stories also tread the expected minor-league ground of wacky gate attractions, pranks, and traditions, including a reminiscence of a running joke from the Texas League by Marshall Adesman, the history of Reading’s “Pony Night” (in which a lucky fan went home with a live horse at the end of the game) by Brian C. Engelhardt, Steven M. Glassman recounts Dave Bresnahan’s infamous “hidden potato trick,” and Matthew R.C. Bosen reveals the unique method the Beloit Sky Carp recently used to recruit their newest announcer. The issue even has a smattering of sabermetrics, with a look at park effects by Will Christensen and an examination of minor league Triple Crown winners by Herm Krabbenhoft, among several other articles, including a look back at Rick Wolff’s groundbreaking book What’s a Harvard Boy Like You Doing in the Bushes, the 1948 Duluth Dukes bus crash, and the origins of the player draft in the nineteenth century.

Описание: In 1973, Roberto Clemente was honored as the first baseball player born outside the continental U.S. to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. Born in Carolina, Puerto Rico, the former Pittsburgh Pirate amassed 3,000 career hits and 240 home runs. Since then, eight more international players of Major League Baseball have been voted into the Hall of Fame, including recent inductees Roberto Alomar (Puerto Rico) and Bert Blyleven (Netherlands). These Hall of Famers are but a few of the many non-native players who have contributed significantly to Major League Baseball, dating all the way back to 1876 and up to the present. Baseball beyond Borders: From Distant Lands to the Major Leagues not only examines the careers of foreign-born and Puerto Rican baseball players, but also goes beyond the players to look at managers, executives, coaches, and officials of Major League Baseball, as well. This book explores the impact and performances of these individuals on MLB and the minor leagues, and their contributions to the expansion and popularity of American baseball in the U.S. and around the world. Baseball beyond Borders offers a historical perspective of when, why, and how emigrants came to play professional baseball in the U.S. and also provides background information on baseball in foreign countries, baseball leagues outside the U.S., and the academies run by MLB on foreign soil. Featuring photographs, statistics, and bios, this unique book presents a comprehensive look at the impact players and staff born outside the U.S. have had on baseball-both in the U.S. and beyond. Baseball fans and sports historians will enjoy reading Baseball beyond Borders, as will anyone wishing to learn more about the influence of foreigners on America's national pastime.
